“My colleagues admonish me, ‘paint with colors!’ Isn’t gray a color, too? If I see everything in gray, if within that gray I see all the colors that impress me and that I would like to convey, why should I use another color?” – Alberto Giacometti
When experiencing art, color tends to be the first detail to grab our attention. Selective Color was brought together as an exploration of how using minimal color in reductive art can have a dramatic impact. This exhibition highlights prints by 15 artists from five different countries and their use, consciously or not, of a limited palette.
