Meaning & Analysis
Released in 2004 in an edition of 250, Fold is a tightly arranged grouping of four colours in a cascading leaf format that has preoccupied the artist and her work since the 1990s. One of the smallest of Bridget Riley’s screen prints, Fold evokes a calm sense of rhythm, engaging the viewer and presenting the picture plane as apparently several layers deep.
Although Riley’s work is consistently abstract, it is grounded in natural experience, predominantly from her adolescence spent in Cornwall, escaping war-torn London. Riley confesses that the ever-changing Cornish seas and skies stimulated her vision, the sensations of which she seeks to recreate in non-representational painting.
