Meaning & Analysis
Large Fragment (2006), by British Op-Artist Bridget Riley, was released in a signed edition of 50 screen prints. Large Fragment is one of a small handful of works that uniquely enlarge the pattern—of curved verticals and slanting diagonals—that characterizes prints from Riley’s Lozenges series.
This print was arrived at through Riley's process of making studies for other artworks; she has continually expressed the importance of these preparatory studies in the realisation of her final works. The enlarged, undulating wedges and loose sense of pattern in Large Fragment contributes to the artwork’s calming sense of rhythm. The diagonal lines underpinning the composition of other works within the series are still discernible here, now with greater width.
