How We See: Materiality and Color investigates how each artist uses color and material to enliven and amplify artwork’s form, shape, and surface. Some deal explicitly with color and its possibilities in mapping space, while others play with the power of perception. Each calls attention to the precise material interplay of the natural and the synthetic, by creating objects that have inherent and manipulated qualities. At first glance, the exhibition is a straight-forward chromatic display, however upon looking closer, a more complex interpretation is revealed. These artists’ colored materials are the product of modern technology in material sciences, but also derived from nature. This exhibition does more than show the beauty of color. It suggests that the artists’ production of countless color variations and applications is similar to nature in that both are subject to manipulation and change.
