4 colours; R,Y,B,G. 9 whites
Bridget Riley
In 1980 Riley visited Cairo and the Nile Valley and began her so-called Egyptian period, reverting to the structure of the simple stripe to contrast the colours she had witnessed in the ancient tombs. This marked the end of a complex investigation into the possibilities of the twisted curve. Having taken the dissolution of colour to an extreme, the reinstatement of a firmer sense of structure now seemed necessary.
