What is colour? Where does it come from, is it a quality of the matter, a property of light, or a reinterpretation of reality by our senses and brains? How is it related to our moods, emotions and wellbeing? Do we all see it the same way?

Colour is an elusive thing.
We can describe it in terms of hue, lightness, and saturation. We can talk about its physical origins, or about its intrinsic role in artistic practices. We can explore its implications in psychology and neuroscience, and delve into considerations about its subjective perception.

These questions have fascinated artists and scientists alike for centuries, and still today never cease to be explored and reinvented.

In The Colour Shifts, some of the artists supported by Ohme over the last two years explore the intricate and delicate interplay between shifting colours and our senses. Their works are presented alongside ongoing technical research conducted by Ohme itself.

Presenting an overview of the creative process and the artistic, scientific and technical explorations underway, The Colour Shifts is built around the concept of ‘Work in Progress’, displaying projects at different stages of development, ranging from initial conception to final realisation.

In this way, a dialogue between the gradual materialisation of ideas and the finished work unfolds from room to room, inviting us to explore, slow down, contemplate, and play.
