Art What’s On

Detail

What is colour? Why does it mean different things in different cultures and times? And how has colour been linked to power, value, and even prejudice? From the deep blues of religious art to the fiery reds of political movements, colour is more than just something we see – it’s something we feel, use, and sometimes even smell. Colour: A season of shades, tints & tones dives into this fascinating world, revealing how colour influences our beliefs, our identity, and our reality. Expect works from Wassily Kandinsky, Andy Warhol and Hokusai, alongside the beguiling plumage of the ruby-topaz hummingbird and more everyday uses of colour from cosmetics to Cadbury’s purple.
