“Colour is everything, black and white is more.” - Dominic Rouse
Colors are wavelengths reflected by objects to the human eye. White is pure light, and black is the absence of light. Black and white appear as both each other’s opposites. The color black is the first pigment used by human beings in prehistory, made from a mixture of charcoal and iron—it was the beginning, but it also symbolically represents the end. White is thought of as purity, but white is often tinted in some way, with subtle gradations. The exhibition covers a wide range of works by artists that limit the color palette to black, white, and/or the blending of the two. Works in the exhibition include abstract works, images of nature, images of the human form, metal, ceramic, paper, and art sculptures, printmaking, and drawing.
