About the Item
A jazz lover, modernist Milly Ristvedt pays tribute to a beloved artist in this compelling abstract painting. The colour field is dominated by a soft gray, a band of deep red at the base and horizontal lines in hot pink run in rows across the painting. A fine border of complementary and contrasting colours--blue, orange, purple and black add interest.
Always experimenting with form and palette, Ristvedt understands the expressive power of colour.
“I worked in several different directions at once; more influenced by Morris Louis’s Unfurled paintings, and the relation of colour shapes to the paintings’ edge found in Jules Olitski’s open fields, than the hard-edge minimalist structures of earlier work.” Milly Ristvedt
Born in British Columbia, Ristvedt studied at the Vancouver School of Art (now the Emily Carr University) and 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 and had over 50 solo exhibitions and 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.

Breathing Space for Agnes - large, bright, yellow, stripes, acrylic on canvas
By Milly Ristvedt
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Vertical stripes of buttercup yellow and cloud blue are each separated from the other by a mere whisper of white canvas. The verticals appear to breathe rhythmically against the picture plane in this homage to American painter Agnes Martin. They evoke Martin's delicate, meticulously penciled grid works and her pursuit of inner peace.

Fire (Paradise Paintings) - large, geometric, abstract, group series, acrylic
By Milly Ristvedt
Located in Bloomfield, ON
A dark, forest green square is flanked by smaller squares of indigo, red and pale yellow on a hot ground of brushed red, orange and yellow in this bold acrylic on canvas. Aptly titled "Fire" this powerful image is part of the Paradise group of paintings. The eight canvases in this group are titled after the Paradise Papers, reflecting narratives of wealth, the ways in which it is made and inequality.
