Applications call for CollexArt Color Sense 2020

CollexArt seeks artworks that express the artist’s ideas about color. In 1963, Josef Albers published the Interaction of Color which shared his thought process that colors are “governed by an internal and deceptive logic.” The artist’s approach to color is personal and intuitive. Through study and/or personal insight, artists have an inherent sense of the play of color in their work whether they are involved in abstract studies or using color to elicit associations. Artists can submit work that addresses the studied use of color, where color is a big part of the artist’s toolset and is what makes the work complete. The subject matter is open.
