Untitled (Fragment 1) 1965

With simple lines on a white ground, Bridget Riley has made this untitled piece all about the movement of your eye. It's like she's giving your vision a little workout! The black lines, they’re so precise, yet they create this wobbly, almost vibrating effect. Look at how they converge and diverge, creating these angular shapes. It's not just about what you see, but how your brain tries to make sense of it all. And that pristine white space? It's not just a background, it's part of the action, pushing and pulling against the black. Riley reminds me a bit of Sol LeWitt, in her exploration of simple forms to create complex visual experiences, but where LeWitt is all about the system, Riley has a kind of organic feel. It’s like she’s tapped into something primal about how we perceive the world. Art isn't about answers, it's about opening up possibilities.
