Shizuko Yoshikawa & Bridget Riley @ Marlborough Gallery

Sensation of Colour, is a selection of prints and drawings by Bridget Riley (b. 1931) and Shizuko Yoshikawa (1934 – 2019).

At a time when Modernist abstract art was still a largely male-dominated field, both artists engaged with its traditional principles to create new and highly contemporary perspectives on avant-garde abstraction. Combining geometrical precision with vibrant colour palettes, Riley and Yoshikawa were influenced by the new theories of phenomenology which would become central to the Minimal and Conceptual art movements of the 1960s and 70s.
