DESCRIPTION:
|
A trip to Egypt in 1981 had a presiding influence on Riley. The use of local colour was a technique which she took with her on her return to England. In contrast to the black and white canvases of the ‘60’s, Riley began to experiment with a three colour palette which gradually expanded into a broader range of bright colours. As with all Riley’s paintings, the paint was applied by hand; never by masking tape, rulers or digital assistance.
