Green with envy. Out of the blue. Caught red-handed. A white lie. Tickled pink. Once in a blue moon. Black out. Paint the town red. To show one’s true colours.
Why do we love certain colours and loathe others? Why do we find some colours soothing and others nauseating? Regardless the reasons, our responses to colour are highly subjective, influenced by in-numerous personal, emotional and cultural associations.
Colouring-in’, with its connotations of child’s play and fun, is also a pun (intended) or a word play suggesting numerous interpretations and approaches to the idea. Throughout out the colouring-in series the concept has been explored through a succession of different subjects: colouring-in (material) (2010), colouring-in (paper) (2009), colouring-in (sculpture) (2008) and colouring-in (the landscape) (2007).
Colouring-in (my world 2.0), the fifth and final chapter in the series, is an investigation by each individual artist into the role of colour in their practice; may it be symbolical, spiritual, expressive or purely ornamental, spontaneously chosen or carefully considered.
