Bridget Riley — About Lilac

About Lilac

A mesmerizing arrangement of slender, undulating stripes in soft lilac, warm cream, and delicate pink tones ripple across the picture plane with rhythmic precision. Riley's masterful manipulation of colour and repetition creates an optical sensation of movement and vibration, drawing the eye into a seemingly shifting surface. This screenprint exemplifies her lifelong investigation into the perceptual effects of colour relationships and the dynamic energy that emerges from carefully orchestrated pattern.
