Bridget Riley: The Curve Paintings 1961-2014
Regular price £17.95'A retrospective of mind-bending curve paintings shows why Riley is Britain’s most significant modern artist' - The Guardian
The first major survey of Bridget Riley’s use of the curve
Coinciding with the 2015 exhibition at De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill on Sea in the UK, this beautiful volume 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.
