The Monochrome in art is a term that emerged in the mid 20th Century in relation to works that utilised actual colour as form. Previously works of art in a single colour were actually sculpture, architecture or craft- so the colour fell into the realm of material. Artists extended this by building works where a singular use of pigment became the actual content, opening up realms of thinking relative to experience, space, light and poetry. The artists in this exhibition use limited palettes as a way to focus the ‘sense’ that each work contains or reveals.
