Blue represents the sky and the sea and is associated with calmness and relaxation, tranquility and stability. Paradoxically, blue is also associated with coldness, sadness and melancholy, as in “singing the blues.” It is the favorite color of both men and women and is said to represent a deep need for personal inner peace and truth. Gallery 40 is presenting “Inspired by Blue” dedicated to the spirit of Gauguin: “If you see a tree as blue, then make it blue.” A pure call to imagination and distinctive style.
Juror of Selection: Sarah Fortner Pierson
Awards will be presented at the opening reception.
Voting for People choice award will be collected at reception time.
On display through January 27, 2024.
