About the Item
In this abstract painting in colored pencil and acrylic on canvas by Elizabeth Gourlay, clean and precise, carefully ordered blocks of color in blue gray and light sage green are lively and vibrant while thin, delicate lines in blue and violet frame the composition. Signed, dated and titled on verso.
Elizabeth Gourlay’s paintings are gradual and progressive meditations on color and form. Her shapes and lines create a distinct vocabulary of abstract marks. The work resonates with inner emotional states, elements of feelings or subconscious thoughts combined with conscious thought about color, form and geometric structure. Shifting bars, lines and blocks of color around the picture plane are analogous to moving musical notes and chords around the score.
Gourlay earned her MFA at Yale University School of Art and her BA from Edinburgh College of Art. Her work has been shown extensively throughout the United States and she is the recipient of numerous residencies, fellowships and awards including Artist in Residence at the studio of Sol LeWitt in Spoleto, Italy. Gourlay’s work has been written about in The New Criterion, Painters’ Table, and Gorky’s Granddaughter to name a few.

- Bluecobalt Green, Light Blue, Grass Green, Stripes, Geometric Abstract PaintingBy Elizabeth GourlayLocated in Kent, CTClean and precise, carefully ordered blocks of color in light blue and light green are lively and vibrant while thin, delicate lines in blue and navy frame the shapes. Signed, dated and titled on verso. Elizabeth Gourlay’s work is a meditation on color and form, a gradual yet progressive analysis leading to a complex vocabulary of shapes, color and line. Musical composition, emotional states and our collective subconscious resonate within bars, lines and blocks of color. The abstract forms emerge, layer and shift in precisely ordered, carefully composed rhythms. The artist contemplates the elements that make color in reduced forms come to life: size, flatness, relation to its edges, and how the presence of other colors affect how it is perceived. Gourlay draws inspiration from shapes found in everyday life and in her studio. The observed shapes either remain as they are or become simplified to their essential geometric elements. Subtleties in color, area, edge or orientation are the catalyst for emotive responses. Palette is minimized; the artist rarely uses a wide palette within one work. Rather, a broad range of colors are explored and then reduced. Gourlay investigates color properties: complementary or analogous color, value, saturation and color harmony vs. color anomaly. Elizabeth’s Gourlay’s work has been shown extensively throughout the United States. The artist is the recipient of numerous residencies, fellowships and awards including Artist in Residence at the studio of Sol LeWitt in Spoleto, Italy.
