THE PHILOSOPHY OF COLOR

Modeka Art, in partnership with Gajah Gallery, is pleased to announce the group show entitled “The Philosophy of Color”, featuring the artworks of Dini Nur Aghnia, Nasser Lubay, Peter Yuill, and Rosit Mulyadi.

Color – by definition, it is an attribute of visual perception that can be told through categories such as red, blue, yellow, or purple. Contemplating on the existence of colors, it is effortless to think that colors are independent properties of commodities in our environment: properties such as shape and size, whose nature independently exists based on our experience of them. If this were the case, how do colors fit into the world? Do they even exist?

Nasser Lubay considers himself a storyteller who narrates through his artworks using all the colors of the world. His works portray the remarkable feeling of a moment – a point in space and time that becomes extraordinary due to its lack of permanence. His first solo exhibition, “Nursery of Curiosities”, moved him to deepen his research into the theme of cosmic germination and enriched his artistry with hints of fear and horror. The portraits for this show were remarkable and demonstrated his ability to expand his artistic language to a purely figurative world.

As a crucial form of communication, color is inestimably precious. In the world of art, besides it being used as a means to express emotion, color may be utilized for aesthetic attraction, creating an illusion, of even evoking a reaction from viewers. The Philosophy of Color explores the use of pigmentation through the diverse yet nearly unified artworks of these artists, each of which represent their own reflections of color.
