Bridget Riley

Museum of Contemporary Art - MCA, Sydney

This exhibition shows the development of Riley's work from the early 1960s to the present day. Included is a selection of the artist's dynamic black and white 'dazzle' paintings, which were celebrated for their disturbing and disorientating optical effects and led to her inclusion in the seminal exhibition The Responsive Eye at MOMA in 1965, as well as a number of works from the late 1960s which represent Riley's earliest exploration of colour. Riley will also create a new wall drawing on site in Sydney.


comunicato stampa

“No painter, dead or alive, has ever made us more aware of our eyes than Bridget Riley.” Robert Melville, The New Statesman, 1970.
Bridget Riley is one of Britain’s most respected artists, recently receiving rave reviews for her exhibition at Tate, London. Encompassing forty years of uncompromising and remarkable innovation her distinguished career is reflected in her characteristic and distinctive, optically vibrant paintings.

Celebrated for their ability to engage the viewer’s sensations and perceptions, producing visual experiences that are complex and challenging, subtle and arresting, Riley’s paintings employ a simple vocabulary of colours and abstract shapes to generate sensations of movement, light and space.
