Yvonne Lammerich
Body Motion Target 2 - soft, contemporary, geometric abstract, acrylic on canvas

2010

About the Item

This dynamic contemporary circular painting in bright white is by Yvonne Lammerich. The Canadian artist has been exhibiting her uniquely bold work both nationally and internationally for decades. Lammerich is known for her provocative experimental work that often plays with the viewer’s perception. What is real and what is illusion? The actual scale of the circle is related to the artist’s body—who created this image by extending her arms, paintbrush in hand and moving across the surface of the canvas. A close examination of this work reveals circles within circles emanating from a defined target. One of a limited series. “The circular target is not just an arbitrary visual model for a focal point of arrival but is itself inscribed by the primary actions of the body in its fullest extension on a surface.” Yvonne Lammerich "Yvonne Lammerich's work resists traditional terms when speaking about painting. Her early work defined new terms for pictorial space within painting practice no longer centred on the primacy of vision.” James Campbell, Galerie Clara Maria Sels, Düsseldorf Yvonne Lammerich was born in Germany in 1946. She emigrated with her family to Canada in 1959. Lammerich attended the Ontario College of Art and also received a master’s in art history from Concordia University in Quebec. She furthered her studies and acquired a Ph.D. from the Université du Québec à Montréal. While pursuing her own art, she also taught at York University, OCAD University, the University of Lethbridge, and Zayed University in Dubai. Her work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally including at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art and is held in numerous private and public collections.

  • Everything and Nothing - large, tranquil, calm, grey, vertical stripes
    By Milly Ristvedt
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    Vertical bars of grey acrylic, dove to light charcoal, move across this square canvas by master colorist, Milly Ristvedt. The bars, that appear to breathe rhythmically against the picture plane, are made more contemplative by the profound title of the painting -- apparent nothingness is actually everything. Thoughts on this inherent and known contradiction in the nature of the universe emerge through quiet meditation of this monochrome canvas. In the recent publication, Milly Ristvedt: Colour and Meaning, critic Lola Tostevin writes: "The grey stripes in this painting could simply be the result of mixing black and white, but it is so much more. Black, the total absence of light, is experienced as nothing but its colour. White, on the other hand, absorbs every colour on the spectrum. In combining black and white in all its permutations, the painting represents nothing figurative, yet it contains everything fundamental to its creation...The textured greys of Everything and Nothing project tranquility, reflection and, ironically, silence." Milly Ristvedt, RCA, began her career in Toronto in 1964 after studies with Takao...
