Colour.Light.Space
Colour, light, space: an inseparable trinity. An inseparable trinity, that is, if we reduce all five senses to the single sense of sight. The exhibition, Colour.Light.Space contains paintings, not only in the form of the traditional panel painting that we might expect. Here, and in direct contradiction to the title, we are presented with austere black and white, or situations in which the colour is applied to carrier materials other than canvas. At first, we might still believe we are encountering a flat panel painting, but on closer inspection we are confronted with an entirely different materiality, in which colour and carrier material develop with each other.
Even as an installation, we still experience painting in the exhibition, but it is floating in space, on a paper-carrier, or as a high-gloss, architectural intervention. Light, which grants us access to sensory viewing experiences, is an important part of site-related works. In these works, light itself becomes colour. In Colour.Light.Space, painting, sculpture and installations are combined, thereby opening up visual as well as conceptual spaces in and around the artworks.
