Art by women #5: Bridget Riley, Late Morning, 1967-8

Bridget Riley is known for geometric works that produce sensations of movement or colour. Her early Op-art works only use black and white, but in the 1960s start featuring colour. Riley was interested in the way that light and colour can play with each other to create visual illusions and disorientation.

The stripes form the structure of this painting, Late Morning, leaving the sequence of colours used to bring the work alive. Riley explores how one colour next to another can create subtle effects, and in this work she’s interested in how warm and cold colours effect white. When red, white, green and blue are combined they’re next to each other, your eyes are tricked into seeing yellow light radiating across the work. Can you see it??
