Colour Rush is a captivating celebration of the power of colour.
An exhibition that will lead you through a rich tapestry of techniques and expressions, where the emotions evoked by colour underscore its powerful role in crafting narratives and forging connections. Featuring work from over 40 local, national, and internationally recognised artists each utilising a diverse range of mediums and styles.
Every hue tells a compelling story that transcends language and cultural. From subtle nuances to bold contrasts Colour Rush will immerse you in a world where colour reigns supreme, where you can not only see but also feel the pulsating energy and feelings that colours evoke.
Colour Rush Workshop
SAT 29 MAR AT 11AM-1PM
Led by Dr Meg Walch, this workshop provides the perfect opportunity to better understand colour theory, experiment with acrylics, and deepen your awareness of how colour shapes our visual experience. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, this session will leave you with fresh insights into the way we use and perceive colour in art.
Participants will engage in a series of creative activities, including the mixing of acrylic paints to create custom colour wheels. You will explore two methods: a primary colour wheel (red, blue, yellow) and a more complex 12-colour wheel. You’ll not only learn to blend colours but also craft circular wheels that will become dynamic thread spinners when pierced and spun. On the reverse side, participants will mix shades of grey, transitioning from black to white, to complete their projects.
