First Study for Fleeting Moment
1986
A vibrant study in optical dynamism, this gouache on paper work by Bridget Riley explores the illusion of movement through precisely arranged geometric forms and contrasting colors. The composition exemplifies Riley's signature Op Art approach, where carefully calibrated patterns create a sense of rhythm and visual flux across the surface. True to its title, the piece captures a fleeting perceptual moment, inviting the viewer's eye to experience the sensation of shifting, ephemeral motion.
