About the Item
This colorful abstract acrylic painting is by Canadian artist Milly Ristvedt.
Inspired by modernist mentors, in the 1970s Milly Ristvedt used simple formats on raw canvas to display a wash of intense colors. This acrylic painting has a joyful color palette as bands of saturated deep blue, magenta, a rich red, and sienna stretch across the canvas. Each band of color reveals sections of the white canvas that appear as organic shapes in each row.
Milly Ristvedt has spent more than five decades exploring the world of color in her artwork and has become internationally recognized for her wholly distinctive visual language.
“In Montreal, I continued to explore raw canvas as a pictorial element using it as negative or positive space within different formal structures…The raw canvas becomes a positive space in Champ…as I explored Kenneth Noland’s technique of scrubbing layers of color washes into the canvas.” Milly Ristvedt
“These paintings demonstrate Ristvedt’s efforts to find simplified formats which allow color to operate freely. Her admiration for such modern masters as Henri Matisse, Jack Bush, and Jules Olitski, is evident, but her pictures are not overly derived from any of these painters. Instead, they suggest her sympathetic acceptance of modernist ideas about color, structure, and space.”
Karen Wilkin, Art Critic

Milly Ristvedt
Milly Ristvedt, RCA, began her career in Toronto in 1964, after studies with Takao Tanabe at the Vancouver School of Art.
In Toronto, during the 1960s and 1970s, Ristvedt was making and exhibiting large-scale paintings alongside a small but defined group of non-figurative painters who, like Ristvedt, had planted roots in modernism. These roots continue to run deep for Ristvedt, who completed her MA in Art History at Queen's University in 2011 with a thesis that explored color in the grid of contemporary painting.
Ristvedt's paintings are part of private and public collections, including the Art Gallery of Ontario, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Vancouver Art Gallery. She has had over 50 solo exhibitions. In 2012, Ristvedt received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal for her service as an advocate for artists.
