On the Wire
About this artwork
In her signature style, artist Ruth LaGue paints a barn and silo with minimal intervention. Inspired by the shapes and patterns of the landscape, she draws the viewer's attention through linear slopes. Ruth captures the rhythm of sunlight, forms, and shadows cast by the cool rays of light. She offers a fresh perspective with a field mapping the terrain in bold blue and green tones and a utility post dividing the composition near the center.
