Milly Ristvedt
Orange Blue Yellow Purple Grid Play - abstract, multiples, acrylic on canvas

2014

About the Item

This series of four abstract paintings in orange, blue, yellow and purple is by Milly Ristvedt. Master colourist Milly Ristvedt continues her exploration of form and colour in this expressive four panel abstract composition. Against vivid colours– purple, yellow, orange and blue, each panel features multi-coloured precise geometric shapes that intersect and dance around the canvas. Look closely and you’ll see subtle grid lines as a backdrop on each canvas. The four canvases measure 12 x 18 inches each and spacing in photo is 12 inches apart, but that can be adjusted depending on location. Art Critic Barry Lord (Art in America) declared that “Ristvedt’s paintings were more insistent than Bush, more consciously structured than Molinari.” “Colour,” she writes, “is the philosopher’s stone that for me represents hope in a time of great challenge for us all.” Milly Ristvedt 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 honored 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. Milly Ristvedt is represented exclusively by the Oeno Gallery.
