Color has an emotional
impact on our hearts and
minds that goes well beyond
the powerful pleasure sensors
that it touches through our
eyes. Simultaneously
stimulus and sensation,
color perception heightens
the flow of memory through
the body like a thrill. The
experience of pure color has
an elevating, intoxicating
effect, relaxing the mind
into open and receptive
revery. In the fourth century
b.c. Plato described painters
as "...mixers of multi-colored
drugs", and Cezanne once
described painting as ideally
capable of providing "...a
colored state of grace".
Color Aid presents recent
work by five artists who
forefront color as a central
ingredient in their work,
exploring in various formats
its potent transformative
power. |
