About the Item
This colourful contemporary abstract landscape painting is by Milly Ristvedt.
In this dynamic new work by Milly Ritsvedt, several bold vertical bands of pure colour run the length of the painting, which is divided into two horizontal hemispheres. Ristvedt’s choice of colours in this hard-edged piece is striking—orange, turquoise, white, and navy blue that pop against the bright white and yellow backdrop. The crisp, clean lines of hard-edged paintings emphasize the flatness of the canvas and draw the viewer’s eye to the simple geometric shapes that make a bold statement.
“Central (to my work) is the idea of the artist as a transformer of energy. Central also is the constant awareness of dynamic tension, coupling very nicely, for instance, with colour as a working element…and whatever I trick myself into learning about the form that these elements can take.” Milly Ristvedt
“Ristvedt’s paintings are uncompromising in their formalism, their preoccupation with the primary elements of colour and space in art.” Jeff Mahoney, Art Critic
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. 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 Olitski 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 has 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
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.
