'Courting Colour' is opening on December 4th and running until January 4th, with the Private View on Tuesday 9th December from 6:30 - 8:30pm.

 

'Courting Colour' has been curated to invite viewers to slow down, look deeply, and allow colour to do its transformative work. It celebrates colour as a living, expressive force.

Colour is far more than pigment, throughout art history it has carried profound meaning: revered as a sacred material in the ancient world, used to encode moral symbolism in medieval art, and later harnessed by Renaissance painters to describe naturalism and light. The post-Impressionists pushed colour into the realm of emotion, and in the 20th century it evolved into a philosophy in its own right. Abstract Expressionists treated colour as a raw psychological force. Across every era, colour has never been static, it shifts according to context, light, memory, culture and mood. It is not decorative alone; it is an active presence.
