The Language of Color
The Language of Color
Curated by Geraldine Neuwirth
The language of color has the power to express many elements in a work of art. Color can be emotional, intellectual, conceptual; it can also incorporate beauty as well as darkness, both figuratively and metaphorically. There is much beauty in darkness and darkness in light—the interplay between the two is not so easily delineated.
An artist’s relationship to color is also very personal, and develops and evolves over the years, sometimes even changing drastically with each new body of work. It’s hard to say why and how that happens. Perhaps at a base level, an artist’s everchanging relationship to color elucidates their own unique state at any given moment.
In this exhibition, the featured artists are six women—Osmeli Delgado, Maria De Los Angeles, Danielle Frankenthal, Iris Kufert-Rivo, Orange Li, and Geraldine Neuwirth—who use color in a variety of ways. Rather than interpreting their uses of color, they invite the audience to dream up their own interpretations.
