Meaning & Analysis

Fragment 5, a signed print in an edition of 75, constitutes Riley’s iconic Fragment series, in which the pioneering artist utilises exclusively black and white geometric shapes to explore the physical and psychological responses of the eyes. Creating a sense of movement, or distortion, the patterns seem to vibrate, swell or warp.

In Fragment 5, curved lines expand and decrease in width at opposing points, creating a swelling, circular form. By creating these works on plexiglass, Riley was intent on creating rich, black geometric forms on a dazzlingly white surface, heightening the optical effects of her geometric forms.

Now considered one of the most innovative modern artists, Riley’s ground-breaking mode of painting was initially received with fervent popularity in 1965 when she exhibited such works at The Responsive Eye at the New York Museum of Modern Art. This exhibition, propelling ‘Op Art’ into the limelight, attracted wide attention for Riley and her dizzying works.
