Bridget Riley: Screenprints

A selection of screenprints by Bridget Riley express a joyful quality encompassing an energetic appearance through bold colours and dynamic compositions. Riley’s interest in the medium of print is related to her work as a painter, rather than in its traditional vehicle for reproduction. The printing process seems to easily compel for Riley, the images she was visualising: producing crisp edges and absolute flatness. The inks naturally provide the ideal luminosity and sustained subtle gradations that are often required.
