About
This exhibition is the second in a series of exhibitions exploring colour that Amanda Game is curating for Fen Ditton Gallery. Each show brings together works by artists, from different disciplines, to explore how colour as both subject and medium remains a fundamental part of many artistic processes.
The first show in the series, International Blues, (June 2018) brought together Japanese ceramics, prints and tapestry. Seeing Red combines a series of abstract, luminous works on paper by Garry Fabian Miller – created through passing light through glass, liquid and paper forms by long exposures onto light sensitive paper – with glass vessels by Danish artist Tora Urup and UK glass studio Gillies Jones. As John Gage, said ‘red…is one of the primary colours of light.. and glass appears to generate and embody light itself’ something explored with great precision by each of these artists.
An intense meditation on the red spectrum is also present in an oil painting and lithograph by Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, sculpture and prints by Nigel Hall, a large ceramic wall piece by Merete Rasmussen, enamel jewellery by Ann Little and vibrant oil paintings by Rosemary Cullum.
