Lives and works in Ojai, CA |

Ruth Pastine was born and raised in New York City. In the early 2000’s she relocated to Southern California, where she currently works and resides. Today, Pastine continues to explore and evolve the concept of Minimalist theory. Through her work, color and light are reduced to their most elemental form; thousands of tiny brush strokes appear visually seamless, producing an image that is both objective and dematerialized. Challenging our preconceptions, Pastine explores the subtle character of color. Pastine’s manipulation of color, light and matter questions the visual experience and redefines the perceptual field. |
