C 1968

Editor: This is "C" by Bridget Riley, housed at the Tate. It’s composed of rows of grey ovals on a white background. The effect is almost dizzying! What's your interpretation of its visual impact? Curator: Indeed. The careful gradation of tone in each oval contributes significantly to the sensation of depth. The systematic arrangement allows for visual disruption through subtle variation. What purpose might Riley have had in mind? Editor: Perhaps to challenge our perception, to question how we see simple forms? Curator: Precisely. The work invites introspection into the act of seeing itself, wouldn't you agree? Editor: Definitely, I hadn't considered it that way before. Curator: Nuance in the interplay of form and color offers a wealth of contemplation.
