BRIDGET RILEY – THE STRIPE PAINTINGS 1961-2014

Posted on 2014-06-13

The exhibition features paintings and studies selected from all periods of her career, from 1961 to 2014, the show will be installed throughout the three floors of the gallery, making it the artist’s first major survey in London since her 2003 retrospective at Tate Britain.

“Bridget Riley is undoubtedly one of the world’s most significant living artists and her influence on present and future generations cannot be underestimated,” says David Zwirner. “I am honoured to be able to show such a definitive selection of her stripe work in my London gallery.”

Riley’s dedication to the interaction of form and colour has led to a continued exploration of perception. From the early 1960s, she has used elementary shapes such as lines, circles, curves, and squares to create visual experiences that actively engage the viewer, at times triggering optical sensations of vibration and movement. Focusing on her recurrent use of stripes over the past fifty years, the exhibition demonstrates the visual variety she achieves by changes in colour, weight, rhythm, and density. Opening with an iconic black-and-white, horizontal stripe painting from 1961, the show includes her first stripe works in colour from later that decade, as well as a large two-panel diagonal stripe painting, Prairie (1971/2003), and vertical stripe works from the 1980s that demonstrate her “Egyptian” palette. The survey finishes with the artist’s newest body of horizontal stripes, including several paintings that have never been exhibited before. Works on paper related to the paintings are also on view.

Opposite – Après Midi, 1981

Exhibition runs through to July 25th, 2014

SUPREME / ANTIHERO

Posted on 2014-06-11

ANTIHERO is a skateboard company founded by Julien Stranger in San Francisco, California in 1995. At a time when some perceived skateboarding as “stale”, ANTIHERO’s approach was to go against everything else in the industry. In 1997 ANTIHERO released their first video “Fucktards”, featuring Julien Stranger, John Cardiel, Bob Burnquist, Eric J and Sean Young. The video’s raw aesthetic and approach to skateboarding has made it one of the most iconic videos of its time.

Not compromising its original intent for almost 20 years, ANTIHERO continues to create social commentary with its satirical graphics, while maintaining one of the most respected teams in skateboarding today.

Supreme has teamed up with ANTIHERO to produce a small collection. The group will consist of a Coaches Jacket, Zip-Up Sweatshirt, Football Top, Long Sleeve and S/S graphic T-Shirt, 5-Panel Hat, and Hobo Tool. The group will be offered along with four new original graphic T-Shirts for the Summer Delivery.

Available in-store NY, LA, London and online on June 12th.
Available in Japan in Japan on June 14th.
