This expansive screen print presents Riley's characteristic exploration of optical phenomena through meticulously arranged vertical stripes in three vibrant colours with a white underprint. The composition creates a rhythmic visual field where colours appear to shimmer and undulate across the monumental surface, challenging static perception and generating a dynamic sense of movement. Executed on heavyweight Somerset paper, the work demonstrates exceptional technical precision in its registration and colour saturation, with each layer contributing to the overall luminous effect that has defined Riley's practice for over six decades. At nearly ten feet wide, this 2024 work represents a significant contemporary statement from one of Britain's most important living artists. Riley's continued investigation into colour relationships and perceptual experience remains as vital and relevant as her pioneering contributions to the Op Art movement of the 1960s. The combination of scale, technical mastery, and visual impact makes this a compelling acquisition for collectors of post-war British art and contemporary abstraction.
