About the Item

This colorful contemporary abstract painting was created by Milly Ristvedt. Canadian artist Milly Ristvedt has been exploring the creative and emotive possibilities of color expressed in abstract form for more than five decades. This painting was completed in 1989 and is a fine example of Ristvedt’s intuitive and inspirational use of color and expressive form. Swaths of fresh modern colors—magenta, purple, deep blue, emerald green, golden yellow, aqua, black, and white appear to float across the canvas. The result is a dynamic and engaging painting that evokes a joyful feeling. “Colour has been central to my explorations in painting from the beginning.” Milly Ristvedt “…colour with its infinite potential is accessible to everyone, is indifferent to any individual’s personal circumstance. It speaks to us across time, space, and cultural differences. It is a universal language accessible to all.” Yvonne Lammerich Milly Ristvedt was born in British Columbia and studied at the Vancouver School of Art (now the Emily Carr University). Her first solo exhibit was at the Carmen Lamanna Gallery in Toronto. 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 and had over 50 solo exhibitions and been part of countless group shows. Ristvedt's work can be found in major public collections throughout North America including the National Gallery of Canada.
