Meaning & Analysis

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.

  • Bridget Riley, a leading figure in the British Op-Art movement, has captivated audiences with her abstract paintings and prints that challenge visual perception. Born in London, 1931, Riley’s artistic journey evolved from semi-Impressionist beginnings to geometric mastery, significantly influencing modern art. Her groundbreaking artworks, from Movement In Squares to the vibrant Stripes series, explore optical phenomena and colour dynamics, creating mesmerising, dizzying effects. With a prolific career spanning over seven decades, Riley’s innovative designs and perceptual disruptions continue to shape contemporary British art, solidifying her enduring influence in the realm of abstract and modern art.
