“Ecclesia,” crafted by the artist Bridget Riley in 1985, is an exemplary work within the Color Field Painting movement. The creation is an abstract genre artwork that highlights Riley’s innovative approach to color and form.
The artwork is characterized by a series of vertical stripes in varying vibrancy and hues. It employs a spectrum of colors, including shades of blue, green, orange, pink, red, and yellow, each stripe systematically aligning beside the other. The juxtaposition of these colors generates a rhythmic and pulsating visual experience that engages the observer’s perception. The meticulous arrangement and uniformity of the stripes give the piece a structured yet dynamic quality, invoking a sense of movement within a static frame.
