About the Item

Vibrant and expressive, this circa 2013 acrylic on canvas diptych by noted Colorado artist Rita Derjue (1934–2020) captures a dynamic abstract interpretation of Southwestern rock formations. Executed in a bold, layered style, the joined diptych format enhances the sense of expansive landscape and geological movement. Derjue’s signature rich Southwestern palette—featuring earthy reds, sunlit ochres, deep purples, and desert-inspired tones—evokes the rugged beauty of the American Southwest. The work is professionally presented in a custom frame with outer dimensions of 20.25 x 50 x 1.25 inches. The combined image size measures 17.5 x 47.25 inches, making it a commanding statement piece for modern and contemporary interiors. A striking example of Derjue’s painterly approach to abstract landscapes.
