Notes on Colour
Tue 23 June - Sat 12 September
The Robert Cripps Gallery, Magdalene College
There is an ineffable, beyond-language quality to colour that cannot be easily pinned down. Notes on Colour is an exhibition which brings together the work of three contemporary artists, Vicken Parsons, Jeff McMillan and David Batchelor, for whom colour has been an abiding preoccupation over many years. These three artists make works which employ different materials, take different forms and address different questions, yet are linked by a deep and prolonged interest in the complexity, unpredictability, and sheer sensuous pleasures of colour. Each artist’s work rests on the edges of abstraction, without being fully abstract: a place where colour has space to breathe, without being entirely detached from the material world.
Colour is stronger than language. - Louise Bourgeois, 1992
