About the Item
A Canadian artist created this abstract painting, its geometric pattern in green and indigo blue.
Milly Ristvedt’s masterful and intuitive use of color and geometric form are evident in this piece—one of several paintings that use the repetitive grid pattern. Considered one of Canada’s finest abstract expressionist artists, Ristvedt did a series of paintings in the 1990s where she experimented with the orderly pattern of a classic grid.
This grid—is composed of reseda green and indigo colors. The paint has been applied in gentle washes that soften each rectangle in the composition. The warm green and the cool blue fuse at the edges, adding subtle variations to each color's tones.
“In this painting and others of the period, maker and material, gesture and painted surface, are ordered into meaning through the use of the grid. The contradiction to this ordering is the wonderful freedom allowed by color, in particular.” Milly Ristvedt
Ristvedt’s paintings are uncompromising in their formalism and their preoccupation with the primary elements of color and space in art. They are cellular examinations of the visual experience of paintings, beyond the image, beyond its pleasing shape.” Jeff Mahoney, The Hamilton Spectator
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.

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.

Epiphany 6 - bold colourful, geometric abstraction, modernist, acrylic on canvas
By Burton Kramer
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Canadian modernist painter Burton Kramer finds inspiration for his work in the lyrical rhythm of music. Geometric shapes—rectangles, squares, and lines in complementary shades of orange, turquoise and hot pink pop against a chocolate brown background. Kramer explores the language of visual forms and sound much like the 20th century European painter Wassily Kandinsky, renowned for his experiments with colour and music.
