About

Chromophobia: the fear of destruction or generalized decline caused by color.

The experience of color, whether it is in relation to art or independently, has intrigued Western civilization for hundreds of years. Newton, Goethe, and Wittgenstein have extensively discussed the empirical or physical study of the nature of color and particularly how color is perceived by humans. Since ancient times, color has been something different, a foreign body, a gesture likened to the childish, the vulgar, the superficial, the ornamental. For example, the Fauvism movement was named by art critic Louis Vauxcelles in 1905, who coined the term “wild beasts” (les fauves) to describe a group of painters with common roots, as an immediate danger to art.
Thirteen artists at Roma Gallery engage in a visual discussion to explore the position and perception of color in contemporary culture through various media and practices. In this composition of ideas, we observe the dynamic evolution of color both as a cultural symbol and as an aesthetic force in postmodern and contemporary art.
