Ruth LaGue
Resting Waters and Boat, Original Painting

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Ruth LaGue paints a lone boat on still ocean waters. The watercraft drifts along unperturbed, barely creating ripples on the surface. Using a palette knife, Ruth applies solid dimensions and gentle textures with her softly nuanced color palette.


About the Artist
In her abstracted landscape paintings, Ruth LaGue pares composition down to its barest form. Through simple color, line and form, landscapes are invoked, rather than detailed. Ruth adjusts the placement of the horizon line in her paintings to suggest a range of natural formations. She stretches form, line and color to their limits, providing the least amount of visual information needed to understand the landscape. Her color palette is nuanced and each color is distinctly her own. She is deeply influenced by her childhood in Alaska and her travels to India. While in India, she found an indelible connection between the vast, wild landscape of her childhood and the limitless internal landscape of the soul. Ruth’s beautifully simplified landscapes become metaphors for the spiritual or otherworldly realms inherent in both nature and in the self.
