The Poetry of Colour
A new display of works from the Gallery’s collection explores the importance and versatility of colour as a tool in the artist’s kit. For millennia, artists have made use of colour to excite, communicate, and adorn; today, colour persists as a fundamental element of creative self-expression. Across a range of themes, materials, and techniques, the artists featured in this display use colour to create dynamic visual effects, evoke memories and emotion, and to make witty references to the history of art and culture.
