Artizan Gallery welcomes West Yorkshire based artist Heather Boxall in an exhibition of her selected works that demonstrate her love and fascination with colour and the multifaceted possibilities of it.
A collaboration with poet Judith Willson has resulted in a collection of poems that reference the colours’ nomenclature. These can be seen alongside monochrome paintings that seek to reinterpret the colours. The colour chart is a format adopted by many artists in various ways. Colour charts came into use by the 1880’s as mass production of ready mixed paints came onto the market. Their design established a format that has not changed since that time, a set of individual units arranged in rows and columns. ‘Unlike that of the colour wheel, there is no logic to the sequences of colour ranges…it is a non-hierarchical list of colours.’
Colour Chart runs from 16th April – 7th May with a private viewing on 15th April. For more information on the exhibition visit https://www.art-hub.co.uk/ex/colour22 or to join us for the launch visit https://www.art-hub.co.uk/events-1/april22pv.
