The artwork, named “Royal Liverpool Hospital Installation,” was created by the artist Bridget Riley in 1983. It belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and is categorized as an installation.
The artwork features a striking sequence of horizontal stripes that adorn the walls of a hospital corridor. The stripes vary in thickness and include a spectrum of colors such as blue, black, white, and various shades of orange and yellow. These vivid bands extend along the length of the corridor, creating a visual rhythm that interacts dynamically with the space. The combination of colors and lines lends a sense of movement and depth to the otherwise static environment. The floor mirrors this approach with a design of intersecting black lines on a pale background. The overall effect of the installation is to transform the corridor into an engaging and visually stimulating passageway.
