Meaning & Analysis
Bridget Riley’s Leap, released as an edition of 75 in 2008, is a part of her ongoing Lozenges series. In line with the methodology of the series it comprises organic, curvilinear forms, formed by intersecting arcs and diagonal stripes. Here, green dominates alongside pink, brown, and blue.
Riley’s carefully planned structure in Leap ensures that the figure/ ground relationship between the colours remains ambiguous. The segmented colours overlap in such a way that it is possible to read both colours alternately as figure and ground. Additionally, the shapes recall the outlines of leaves or petals. Despite being non-representational, Riley has previously expressed her great love for nature and the influence this exerts over her artistic production. Hence, the artist’s forms suggest shapes and rhythms found in the natural world.
