Inside the Strongest Colours: Black and White
Explore the nuanced interplay of light and shadow, the dynamic tension, and the serene harmony that black and white bring to artistic creation. We will present ‘Inside the Strongest Colours: Black and White’ during GLUE Amsterdam from the 19th till 22nd of September 2024.
From architecture to fashion, from photography to contemporary design, black and white have perpetually inspired creative minds. These colours focus the viewer's attention on form, composition, light, and shadow, and offer an unparalleled depth and intensity. In a world full of spectrum of colours, black and white remain the ultimate canvases for pure artistic expression.
With this exhibition, we delve into the profound impact of these hues through the eyes of gallery artists and designers. We have engaged with Olga Engel, Vadim Kibardin, Jonne Stout, Jan Ernst de Wet, Mariekke Jansen, Olesya and Andriy Voznicki, Natalie Katwal and Jordan van der Ven to uncover why black and white continue to captivate and inspire.
