Warm ochre, golden-yellow and reddish-brown shades meet pale fields of cream, grey and mint in “Who goes first?” by Ruth Christiansen. A darker plum-coloured area gathers in the upper left, while a luminous opening runs through the centre. Below, cool whitish and blue-green tones spread between horizontal brown marks.
The subject is abstract, with soft transitions and a visibly worked surface. Fine lines, irregular edges of colour and small raised marks emerge between the more open fields. The colours may suggest a landscape seen through mist, while leaving its forms and distances undefined.
Ruth Christiansen explains that the painting took many turns before she felt certain it was complete. She draws attention to its many layers, which reveal themselves on closer inspection. The question in the title adds an open-ended narrative to the encounter between the darker sides and the pale centre. The vertical 40 × 50 cm format allows movement between the cool foreground tones and the warmer fields above.
