yellowbluepink

Ann Veronica Janssens' new extraordinary show entitled 'yellowbluepink'. Part of her States Of Mind collection the exhibition explores light and colour as Janssens invades the gallery space with coloured mist. The gradually shifting colour is caught in a state of suspension, obscuring any detail of surface or depth. Instead, attention is focussed on the process of perception itself.

The exhibition was highly disorientating, and even isolating at times when the twenty or so people in the space simply disappeared into the mist, but was also revealed to be obscurely uplifting when exiting the space and sight was fully restored. The use of colour appeared to be so simple, and yet remarkably complex once inside. The sensation of being surrounded and engulfed by a medium such as colour that isn't usually accessible in such a physical form was unlike anything I've ever experienced before.
