What a lovely call for entries, it deserves your attention...

(Redskyatnight)
(3rd – 17th November)

‘And in the morning, it will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?’

The colour Red has many paradoxical meanings; it is enigmatic, a passionate colour, representing love, yet also anger. It is confident and courageous yet brutal and aggressive. Intense and atmospheric, oppressive and liberating, this enigmatic colour was epitomised in the work of the abstract expressionists, finding its totality in the works of Barnet Newman & Mark Rothko. Since these explorations of the colour, artists have continued to explore the colour red according to diverse aesthetic & conceptual premises.

CALL FOR ENTRIES

It is our vision to produce an exhibition where all the works are red, or explore the varying symbolism and aesthetic properties of this enigmatic colour.

If your work explores the above theme, either emblematically or in the abstract and would like your work to be considered for this exhibition please send digital images and a brief description to its curators by Monday 16th October: Any medium and discipline will be considered.
