Bette Ridgeway’s oeuvre of vivid artistry, her signature technique of “layering light,” stems from her unorthodox process of paint pouring, creating gem-like veils of transparent color. This style has inhabited her work since the mid 1970’s, placing her among the second-generation of American Abstract Expressionists. Her mastery of details, e.g. paint density, the regulation of paint flow and color harmonies, allows for serendipity while she maneuvers the canvas angle and surface tautness to accomplish her color attenuation and distension. She strives for dynamism and beauty. It is important to her that the viewer find something meaningful to them, whether it be a sense of calm, a sense of reviving the spirit or any emotional connection. Ridgeway recently completed her largest work to date. Commissioned and given full artistic freedom by The Meridian Group/Rockefeller Group/Gensler architects, she created a 15’ high x 21’ wide masterwork for the new Boro Tower, Tysons, Virginia – a stunning, highly visible “poured” painting on canvas. Ridgeway enjoys international recognition, exhibiting globally in over 80 museums, universities and galleries, including Palais Royale, Paris and the Embassy of Madagascar. Prestigious awards include Top 60 Contemporary Masters, Leonardo DaVinci Prize, and Oxford University Alumni Prize at Chianciano Art Museum, Tuscany, Italy. Mayo Clinic and Federal Reserve Bank are among Ridgeway’s permanent public placements, in addition to numerous private collections. Many books and fine art publications have featured her work, among them: International Contemporary Masters and 100 Famous Contemporary Artists. Ridgeway has also penned several books about her art and process.
