playing with colour and image



colour and light

After visiting the figure light colour and the intangible exhibition at the Djanogly art gallery, I have realised that colour can play a huge part in creating a mood, feeling or depth to an image. I looked at the work of four artist two of which really caught my eye ; Rebecca Partridge and Jane Bustin. All artist I looked at focused on colour and shape as their main aspect in their work.
Rebecca Partridge uses bright geometric forms that move around the centre of the painting that dissolve towards the edge of the page refracting colour. She makes use of contrasting colours overlapping them to create a more dramatic and eye-catching piece of work making it more visually interesting to look at.
AS you can tell by looking at the images below she has made the colours much more stronger towards the centre of the page fading them out towards the end giving the painting more depth and drawing the viewers attention to the middle. I personally preferred the paintings on black background I found the colours to become more bold and eye-catching




Rebecca Partridge - “in the white paintings when I overlay one colour over another it becomes darker, as in the subtractive colour wheel, where theoretically mixing the three primaries creates black. In the dark paintings I wanted to flip things , to create a kind of duality between the works. Here when colours overlay they get lighter , as it would if I were mixing beams of coloured light. In additive colour mixing theory is that mixing the three primaries creates white .
The second artist I looked into was Jane Bustin who held a very different approach in using colour.
She chooses to work with mainly block colours her work is often described as ‘emotional minimalism‘ . In comparison to Rebecca Partridges work her art is very flat there is no depth , or any sign of free dimensional shapes , although she does work with a range of different materials such as wood, aluminium, copper and Hessian giving texture to her work. One of my favourites from her collection ‘violet and the war’ there is clearly a contrast in texture with the Hessian to the left and the painted surface to the right The lights and darks , roughs and smooth seem to resemble her thoughts towards the actual meaning of the painting and the title.
