Synopsis

• This publication features studies and paintings from throughout Riley’s career
• Beginning with black-and-white works from the 1960s up to the recent wall painting Rajasthan (2012), which combines curvilinear shapes with a vibrant colour palette

Animating the entire visual field, Riley’s distinctive abstract language is shaped by her study of Paul Cézanne and Georges Seurat’s treatment of pictorial space. Accompanied by colour illustrations of over 30 works in the exhibition, a new interview with the artist by Paul Moorhouse offers an in-depth exploration of Riley’s influences and developments.

About this title

Product Description

Bridget Riley: Paintings and Gouaches 1979-80 & 2011 features three new paintings which represent an important new direction in the artist's work as Riley brings her exploration of the circle from the wall to the canvas, and from black and white to colour. Through the layering of circles of yellow and orange, Riley asks the eye to continuously adjust as the shapes grow and compress, recede and advance and dance across the canvas.
