Bridget Riley Quotes

An artist’s early work is inevitably made up of a mixture of tendencies and interests, some of which are compatible and some of which are in conflict Picture Quote #1
In general, my paintings are multifocal. You can’t call it unfocused space, but not being fixed to a single focus is very much of our time Picture Quote #1
I think this lack of a center has something to do with the loss of certainties that Christianity had to offer Picture Quote #1
Focusing isn’t just an optical activity; it is also a mental one Picture Quote #1
I used to build up to sensation, accumulating tension until it released a perceptual experience Picture Quote #1
I work with nature, although in completely new terms Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
Painting is, I think, inevitably an archaic activity and one that depends on spiritual values Picture Quote #1
For me nature is not landscape, but the dynamism of visual forces Picture Quote #1
Painting is a science pursued as an enquiry into the laws of nature... Observation is considered the key to natural science Picture Quote #1
His failures are as valuable as his successes: by misjudging one thing he conforms something else, even if at the time he does not know what that something else is Picture Quote #1
It is important that the painting can be inhabited, so that the mind’s eye, or the eye’s mind, can move about it credibly Picture Quote #1

If you can allow colour to breathe, to occupy its own space, to play its own game in its unstable way, it’s wanton behaviour, so to speak. It is promiscuous like nothing Picture Quote #1
The actual basis of colour is instability. Once you accept that in lieu of something which is stable, which is form, you are dealing with something which is unstable in its basic character, you begin to get a way of dealing with it Picture Quote #1
It seems the deeper, truer personality of the artist only emerges in the making of decisions... in refusing and accepting, changing and revising Picture Quote #1
I never make studies from nature. They would get in the way. I make use of my mind Picture Quote #1

The eye can travel over the surface in a way parallel to the way it moves over nature. It 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 Picture Quote #1
For me nature is not landscape, but the dynamism of visual forces, an event rather than an appearance. These forces can only be tackled by treating color and form as ultimate identities, freeing them from all descriptive or functional roles Picture Quote #1
There was a time when meanings were focused and reality could be fixed; when that sort of belief disappeared, things became uncertain and open to interpretation Picture Quote #1
As the artist picks his way along, rejecting and accepting as he goes, certain patterns of enquiry emerge Picture Quote #1
As a painter today you have to work without that essential platform. But if one does not deceive oneself and accepts this lack of certainty, other things may come into play Picture Quote #1
