Elizabeth Gourlay
Rosegray, Modern Abstract Painting, Orange, Red, Green, Blue

2019

About the Item

Carefully ordered blocks of color in shades of light green, gray-blue, and coral toned orange and red are bright against the pale beige color of the paper. Horizontal blocks of red and orange frame the bottom and upper sections of the composition, while vertical stripes of light green and two tones of blue occupy the center of the paper. At the right, a crescent shaped block of light gray adds a dynamic contrast to the predominantly straight lines that build this painting. Signed, dated and titled on recto. 17.5 x 12.5 inches (image size), 22 x 15 inches (paper size). 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.
