Conversation 1992 — Fine Art

Conversation 1992 by Bridget Riley shows rows of short vertical strokes laid down in tight bands. The marks step from one shade to the next as they move across the page. You can see the rhythm of the hand in the small gaps between each stroke.

This fine art print comes with a white frame that gives the picture a clean edge on the wall. The white line around Conversation 1992 keeps the eye on the bands of marks. In a black frame the edge reads darker and the strokes hold their place.

In a study hung on a pale wall, the bands of marks pull the eye along the length of the desk. From the doorway you read the shift in tone from one band to the next. The picture stays put without asking for attention.
