Polychromatic is a group exhibition of five internationally acclaimed artists from Iran, Nigeria, Turkey and Mexico. Each artist explores notions of identity and the self through their own inventive use of colour.
The concept of identity and perception of the self is perhaps now more pertinent than ever. Throughout art history, colour has been used in artworks to help create a sense of identity, by conveying intangible concepts such as emotions, dreams and mental states. Drawing on the theoretical framework of Surrealism and seminal psychoanalytic studies, this exhibition aims to engage viewers with the subconscious perceptions of the self through artworks that utilise colour to reveal emotion and expressivity.
