Artist Talks | Colour of Puddles

Saturday 31 January, 11am

 

Hear from Colour of Puddles artists Boni Cairncross, James Lieutenant and Kate Vassallo as they discuss their individual practices and their shared interest in conceptually rigorous abstraction. First meeting in 2011, soon after graduating art school, the three have exhibited together periodically over the years. Though their individual art practices vary greatly from one to the next, they find inspiration and closeness through their materially sensitive process-based works, whether it be through painting, installation, drawing,
printmaking, textiles or photomedia.

Colour of Puddles draws on Roland Barthes’ theory that “colour is a type of bliss”, inviting viewers to reflect on how colour is seen, felt, and discussed, akin to the shifting hues of a puddle. Through layering and mark-making, the exhibition celebrates colour’s emotive and transformative power, offering a contemplative experience of its role in contemporary abstraction.

Free. All Welcome.
