"I eat color," said Ivan Ivarson – a powerful quote that captures the intense urge for expression shared by many artists. This vibrant theme highlights the most emotionally charged dimension of painting: where the palette is not merely a tool, but the very core of the artistic language.
From the colorists of the 20th century to contemporary painters, we see how color is used to amplify movement, light, and mood – sometimes inspired by the richness of nature’s hues, sometimes as a purely abstract language. Regardless of subject, it is the effect of color on the viewer that takes center stage: its ability to convey joy, drama, harmony, or unrest.
Welcome to celebrate the freedom and power of color in painting!
