Frieze
Signed Print

Frieze, taking its title from the renowned art fair that began in London in 2003, combines large, curved shapes in a colour palette of blue, green, yellow and white. Riley utilises the curved shape to create a sense of energy and movement in her work, by building up complex layers of vertical and diagonal planes. Overall, Riley’s oeuvre is a complex, in-depth study of colour and form, and the effects produced when the two are interwoven: the joys and dynamism created by their co-mingling.

The intention underpinning Riley’s artistic career is her unwavering interest in the subject of visual perception. In other ways, Riley is keen to question the ways in which we think about or understanding something, using our sense of vision. The resulting visual complexity of Riley’s works is achieved through many hours of planning and studio research.
