About the Item
In this contemporary abstract painting in acrylic on linen mounted on a shaped panel by Elizabeth Gourlay, carefully ordered blocks of color in salmon, peach and mauve are luminous against thinner neutral sections of exposed linen. Signed, dated and titled on verso.
Elizabeth Gourlay’s work is a meditation on color and form, a gradual yet progressive analysis leading to a complex vocabulary of shapes, color and line. Musical composition, emotional states and our collective subconscious resonate within bars, lines and blocks of color. The abstract forms emerge, layer and shift in precisely ordered, carefully composed rhythms. The artist contemplates the elements that make color in reduced forms come to life: size, flatness, relation to its edges, and how the presence of other colors affect how it is perceived.
Gourlay draws inspiration from shapes found in everyday life and in her studio. The observed shapes either remain as they are or become simplified to their essential geometric elements. Subtleties in color, area, edge or orientation are the catalyst for emotive responses. Palette is minimized; the artist rarely uses a wide palette within one work. Rather, a broad range of colors are explored and then reduced. Gourlay investigates color properties: complementary or analogous color, value, saturation and color harmony vs. color anomaly.
Elizabeth’s Gourlay’s work has been shown extensively throughout the United States. The artist was the recipient of numerous residencies, fellowships and awards including Artist in Residence at the studio of Sol LeWitt in Spoleto, Italy. Gourlay’s work has been written about in The New Criterion, Painters’ Table and Gorky’s Granddaughter, to name a few. Gourlay earned her MFA at Yale University School of Art, New Haven, CT, and her BA from Edinburgh College of Art, Edinburgh, Scotland. In 2024, Elizabeth Gourlay's luminous career was cut short by illness. The artist lived and worked in CT.

Elizabeth Gourlay
Elizabeth Gourlay is an American abstract artist, whose work emerges from a progressive process of layering color, lines and forms, informed both by inner emotional states, and her observation of nature and architecture. She lives and works in Chester, Connecticut. She was invited to work with Master Printer Anthony Kirk. Gourlay finds the immediacy and experimental quality of monotypes valuable to her practice as an artist. Her work is featured in various private and corporate collections, including The Lewitt Collection, The Marriott Family and Yale University. She is the recipient of several grants and fellowships, including two Individual Artist State Grants from the DECD/Connecticut Office of the Arts. In 2011, she was an invited artist in residence at the studio of Sol LeWitt, Spoleto, Italy. Gourlay uses a wide range of media such as oil, flashe, acrylic, ink and graphite to create artfully simple and strong compositions. Gourlay thinks of her work as a meditation on colors, lines and forms, leading to a complex network of shifting shapes and colors. She has an interest in elements found in nature, architecture and music, drawing lines, grids and geometric shapes to demonstrate it. Indeed, her work is often described by its musicality and architectural connotations. The use of line suggests influences from Agnes Martin, while her play of color reminds Paul Klee’s work. Her compositions deal with order and chaos using a line, color and shape.

Q30 - Geometric Abstract Shaped Panel Sage Green Gray Beige Stripes, 2022
By Elizabeth Gourlay
Located in Kent, CT
In this contemporary geometric abstract painting in acrylic on linen mounted on a shaped panel, carefully ordered horizontal blocks of color in pale green, light teal blue and soft sage are luminous against thinner neutral sections of exposed beige linen. Signed, dated and titled on verso.
Elizabeth Gourlay’s work is a meditation on color and form, a gradual yet progressive analysis leading to a complex vocabulary of shapes, color and line. Musical composition, emotional states and our collective subconscious resonate within bars, lines and blocks of color. The abstract forms emerge, layer and shift in precisely ordered, carefully composed rhythms. The artist contemplates the elements that make color in reduced forms come to life: size, flatness, relation to its edges, and how the presence of other colors affect how it is perceived.
Gourlay draws inspiration from shapes found in everyday life and in her studio. The observed shapes either remain as they are or become simplified to their essential geometric elements. Subtleties in color, area, edge or orientation are the catalyst for emotive responses. Palette is minimized; the artist rarely uses a wide palette within one work. Rather, a broad range of colors are explored and then reduced. Gourlay investigates color properties: complementary or analogous color, value, saturation and color harmony vs. color anomaly.
