October 13 thru Nov 3 audience with artist • Thursday, October 19 • 7pm “kleur” derived from Afrikaans it is the word for color. In our hyper-kinetic world, audiences are fatigued with the ordinary. Unusual color combinations can immediately ignite interest and excitement in campaign. Whether they are overwhelmingly beautiful or exquisitely ugly, the powerful manipulation of color stops us in our tracks. “kleur” is Color is no longer just one component of an image; it is the star Characterized by bold, simple, everyday imagery, and vibrant block colors of Pop Art and characteristics of Abstract expressionism where art is an expressions of the self, born out of profound emotion and universal themes, shaped by the legacy of Surrealism. “kleur” takes a look at some local contemporary artists as they inspire us with their bold color pallet.
