Colour Revolution - paintings in inverse colour
Crypt Gallery, Norwich.
Private View: 28 June 2.30 to 5pm.
This exhibition follows from the talk, "What Colour is that?" that I recently gave for Norfolk Contemporary Art Society. It features a series of paintings in which I have experimented with the psychological effects of inverting colour. Made initially in response to the shock of the Brexit referendum, and later during the pandemic lockdown, the paintings evoke feelings associated with these significant events in recent history that have affected us all in so many ways.
** 10% of all sales from the exhibition will be donated to support scholarships at Norwich School**
Limited edition giclee prints are available of the paintings. Printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm paper. A2 size trimmed.
