Blue Surpasses Dimension


  • Saywell Gallery 8 Saywell Street Marrickville, NSW, 2204 Australia (map)

OPENING NIGHT: Thursday 14 September 6-9pm

"Blue Surpasses Dimension" exhibition aims to delve deeper into the philosophical and emotional significance of the colour blue, exploring its connections to the human experience, nature, spirituality, and the infinite.

Through a collection of artworks, this exhibition grants visitors an expanded perspective on the boundless possibilities, profound emotions, and multi-dimensional connotations associated with blue.

This exhibition seeks to explore the various meanings and symbolism of this pigment, examining how colour is intertwined within the tapestry of our lives, nature and the landscape. Drawing upon the limitless range of pigment present within both the sea and sky, the curatorial vision contemplates symbolic tranquillity and harmony represented by this vivid colour.

In a tribute to artists like Yves Klein and his iconic "IKB" (International Klein Blue), artists strive to elicit a feeling of the boundless, hinting at the limitless potential held within blue. In the realm of abstraction, blue serves as a medium for the artist's intention, enabling them to rise above the boundaries of representation and delve into the metaphysical sphere. As aptly phrased by Klein himself, "Blue surpasses dimension."

Hence, the artworks on display convey the essence of blue as more than just a visual phenomenon. They delve into its profound symbolic significance, capturing the intangible aspects of the human experience. Each artwork depicts a story encapsulating the interplay between colour and emotion, form, and spirituality.

In summary, "Blue Surpasses Dimension" transcends being a mere exploration of colour; rather it delves deeper, reflecting upon the psychological and emotional response to this electric pigment within our daily lives.
