Meaning & Analysis
Blue Dominance is a signed screen print in colour, executed in 1977 by Bridget Riley, a foremost painter in the Op Art movement and a pioneer of British Abstract Art. Released in an edition of 100, Blue Dominance is one of four prints constituting the Dominance series, in which vertical lines in varying colours undulate across the two-dimensional surface. Four hues have been selected: green, red, blue and a greyish blue tone. Green and red, two contrasting colours, create vibrancy, whilst blue, a colour lying next to green on the spectrum, blends into the green, the two colours shimmering where they meet.
Although seemingly random colour combinations, the compositions are the result of attentive planning to create stunning visual effects. By juxtaposing lines of complimentary colours Riley was able to affect the perceived brightness of each colour, taking the visual, optical effects further than she was able to when working exclusively in black and white.
