CHROMA exhibition highlights about twenty abstract works created by different 20th century artists, with the common thread being colour.
A dialogue is established among the artworks, inspired by various sources.
For instance, Sean Scully immerses himself in Maya culture, Frank Stella references the birds of New Caledonia, Peter Halley explores the urban environment, Ugo Rondinone captures the present moment during a sunset...
These artists have boldly and experimentally explored colour, harnessing its expressive power to convey their emotions, thoughts, and social critiques. They have transcended boundaries, explored new combinations, striking contrasts, and lighting effects, thus creating visually dynamic and powerful compositions.
The colour is much more than mere visual perception. It can be a breath, an emotion, and sometimes even an obsession
