Opens 22 November 2025

Media View: 20 November 2025, 11.30am 

Turner Contemporary is delighted to announce an exhibition by Bridget Riley, conceived in close collaboration with the artist. The exhibition explores Riley’s continuing dialogue with the sensory experience of sight and her enduring connection with the natural world. It includes works from the 60s, her most recent paintings and wall paintings from the last decade. The exhibition also brings together her early figurative work with line, tone and colour – alongside later preparatory works on paper showing how the practice of drawing has underpinned her working life.

Bridget Riley is one of Britain’s most influential artists working today. Her studio practice remains ground-breaking. Born in London in 1931, she gained international recognition in 1965 through her participation in The Responsive Eye exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York and at the Venice Biennale in 1968 when she was awarded the International Prize for Painting. 

Curated by Melissa Blanchflower, Senior Curator, Turner Contemporary and Bridget Riley. 

Further information on the exhibition and accompanying learning programme will be released in the autumn.
