“Riverlines (detail)” is an abstract artwork created by Richard Long in 2006 and belongs to the Post-Minimalism art movement.
The artwork showcases intricate and rhythmic patterns that evoke a sense of natural flow, akin to the lines and textures found in riverbeds. The composition is divided into two distinct sections: the upper portion features densely packed, curvilinear forms, suggesting the organic intricacies of natural elements. Below it, a section marked by vertical streaks descending towards the bottom of the canvas contrasts sharply with the textured patterns above. The piece embodies an exploration of natural forms through minimalistic yet expressive lines, highlighting Long’s dedication to abstract representation within the Post-Minimalism movement.
