About the Item
This pink, blue, red, minimalist abstract, acrylic on canvas is by Canadian artist Milly Ristvedt.
In bold colours and striking abstract form, Canadian artist Milly Ristvedt created a stunning series of colour field paintings. The master colourist chose to alternate bands of bright blue and watermelon pink for this piece. Each row is slightly curved as it leads the viewer’s eye into infinity. Ristvedt counts famed modernists Morris Louis from the Washington Colour School and Canada’s Jack Bush among her early influences. But the young artist was also genuinely inspired by the world around her.
“(A fellow artist) Gerald had made necklaces out of dyed fava beans which were hung to dry, creating a lovely series of loops across the wall. The structure used in the Colour Field paintings was influenced as much by seeing these loops as by the geometric and architectural shapes of minimalist sculpture and paintings seen in New York a year earlier." Milly Ristvedt
Milly Ristvedt was born in British Columbia and studied at the Vancouver School of Art (now the Emily Carr University). She had her first solo exhibit at the Carmen Lamanna Gallery in Toronto.
In the late 1960s, Ristvedt shared a studio with famed Canadian painter Jack Bush, met art critic Clement Greenberg, and was inspired by American painters Jules Olitiski and Frank Stella. Her work has been included in many publications. She was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 2004 and honoured with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012. She has won seven Canada Council awards and two Ontario Arts Council awards, has had over 50 solo exhibitions, and has been part of countless group shows.

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.
