16 July 2021 — 28 July 2021

Milly Ristvedt has been creating extraordinary paintings for over 50 years. Now in her late 70s, she is still innovating and demonstrating her depth and skill as an artist. Ristvedt is a colourist. Her sole interest is in exploring the expressive potential of colour. Each painting is an arena in which ideas, formal elements, colour and process, demand her full attention.
