"In the early 1960s, Bridget Riley created her first mature style by making black-and-white paintings, some of which induced the experience of prismatic colour as you looked at them. She continued by making multi-coloured canvases that deliver chromatic experiences at times surprisingly altered, in our perception, from the actual pigment colours that compose these works. And, over the past decade, she has been making large, black-and-white murals that shape and articulate the environmental colour-space they occupy. I don't mean to say, however, that her career is simply divisible into a development across these three kinds of works. Her development has been one of accumulation, of a carrying forward of common preoccupations in different, continually changing ways. And one common preoccupation is very readily noticed in all of her mature works: they are all rigorous as well as beautiful, disciplined as well as joyful, and they are meticulously but plainly made, with not a single touch of artiness about them…" Extrait de "Creating a Way of Looking" par John Elderfield.
