Red River Valley #1 2003

"Red River Valley #1" (2003) is a hard-edge abstract painting by American artist Pat Lipsky. It is a compelling example of her signature style, using bold, flat colors and geometric shapes, which were inspired by the work of the Dutch De Stijl movement. The painting consists of vertical bands of red, blue, black, and a cool, light blue, evoking the feeling of a vibrant, yet minimalist cityscape. Lipsky's works explore the potential of abstract forms, with the artist suggesting that they are about "the way we live."
