Sylvan (2000), a signed screen print by Bridget Riley, was released in an edition of 75. Although non-representational, composed of the serpentine shapes belonging to Riley's Lozenges series, Sylvan nevertheless generates abstract movement; the viewer traces the many transitions between carnivalesque colours across interlocking forms.
Composed of four colours in interlocking planes, the forms constituting Sylvan are elegant and serpentine, evoking a sense of disembodied movement. This carnival of colours: blue, green, yellow and orange, is redolent of a dance. Colour in this series, like Riley’s other series, is declaratively interactive: each hue seems to change pitch and tone depending on its neighbours. Far removed from Riley’s monochromatic origins, Riley’s Lozenges work sees the abstract artist at her most confident with colour.
Of her work, Riley stated the viewer’s eye “should feel caressed and soothed, experience frictions and ruptures, glide and drift. One moment there will be nothing to look at and the next second the canvas seems to refill, to be crowded with visual events”.
