About the Item
Canadian painter Milly Ristvedt’s masterful exploration of colour and abstract form continues with this diptych (two panels create a singular piece of art) in a classic grid pattern. Two paintings—one has intersecting lines in pastel shades of pink, mauve, yellow and blue; the other is a solid indigo. Both have dots…white and mulberry coloured respectively that act as intriguing focal points in the paintings. Art critic Barry Lord (Art in America) declared that Ristvedit’s modernist paintings were “more insistent than Bush (Jack Bush), more consciously structured than Molinari.”
“The thing about abstract art is that it is not divorced from life but arises out of it.”

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.

- Extension - large, bright, colourful, geometric abstract acrylic on canvasBy Milly RistvedtLocated in Bloomfield, ONIn this dynamic new work by Milly Ritsvedt, bold vertical bands of pure colour run the length of the painting. As always, Ristvedt’s choice of colours in this hard-edged piece is masterful—turquoise, deep pink, blue and bright yellow. Art Critic Barry Lord (Art in America) declared that Ristvedt’s paintings were ‘more insistent than Bush, more consciously structured than Molinari.’ “The paintings of the past two or three years explore questions of form, colour and process that arise out of earlier works.” 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.
