PhillipsX is proud to announce SEEING RED, a selling exhibition curated by Jane Neal and Fru Tholstrup. Born from the curators鈥� shared passion for championing artistic independence and individuality, this exhibition brings together established figures and emerging talents united in how they each 鈥渟ee red鈥� whether it be anger, passion, fear or love. This show offers a re-examination of art today and also an opportunity for the visitor to indulge the senses - be they olfactory, aural, touch or taste. SEEING RED colours our lives. It is bold, it is visceral, it is now.   

The exhibition features over 70 works by 40 artists exploring how we 鈥榮ee red鈥�. A bold and evocative hue, the colour red holds deep emotive and cultural significance for many communities, symbolising luck, joy, passion, danger, love, and more. Throughout history, red has played a significant role in spiritual rituals, adorned cave walls, and held deep-rooted cultural and emotional importance. Associated with warmth and richness, red is also linked to power, as seen in its use by politicians and royalty. SEEING RED encourages personal reflection on how we 鈥榮ee red鈥� and the symbolic meaning of the colour red.

Visitors to the exhibition are invited to reflect on different artistic interpretations of 鈥榮eeing red鈥�, with highlights including works by Marina Abramovi膰, Alma Berrow, Lara Bohinc, Dale Chihuly, Martin Eder, Alexis Soul-Gray, Fredrikson Stallard, and David Brian Smith, among others. Further highlights of this immersive experience include poetry by LionHeart, jewellery designed by Stephen Webster and a bespoke scent created by Azzi Glasser.

The works showcased in the exhibition are united in their examination of the notion of 鈥榮eeing red鈥檃nd when presented alongside one another, create a dialogue that encourages viewers to reassess the current art landscape and its connection with the remarkable talents on display. This exhibition presents visitors with an experience to stimulate all the senses across a variety of different media. Unconstrained by traditional norms, SEEING RED welcomes mavericks and forward-thinkers offering a collective platform secured by meritocracy, shaping the future luminaries of the art world, and delving into the emotions that colour our lives. This exhibition serves as a re-examination of contemporary art, emphasising an artist's autonomy in an increasingly prescriptive art world. Beyond the visual, SEEING RED engages other senses, providing a unique perspective on art that transcends traditional boundaries.
