Meaning & Analysis

As the title alludes, this print is composed of two hues of blue, interspersed with segments of white, which highlight the lighter of the two tones. After the great success of Riley’s Stripes series of works, she sought new challenges. The result of her subsequent investigations was the creation of a lively, dynamic new form: a patch of colour, similar in shape to a brush mark, free from any associations with the square, stripe or other conventional, geometric forms. This shape, continuously refined and developed over the years, created an opportunity for a unique melding of form and colour.

Riley utilises the curvaceous shape to create a sense of energy and movement in her work, by building up complex layers of vertical and diagonal planes. Overall, Riley’s oeuvre is a complex, in-depth study of colour and form, and the effects produced when the two are interwoven: the joys and dynamism created by their co-mingling.

  • 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.
