The Weight of Colour brings together four artists who each approach colour as a material presence. In this presentation, colour is not only an image but something that carries weight, reflects light and shapes how a work occupies space.
Lisette Schumacher presents works in which colour and solid glass come together. Transparency and thickness influence how colour behaves, sometimes concentrated, sometimes diffused, allowing the work to shift with light and viewpoint.
Donald Schenkel contributes paintings built through slow layers of oil paint. Subtle shifts in tone and direction allow depth and light to emerge across the surface.
Vera Klaus works with an open approach to painting, where gesture, pigment and raw canvas interact. Her paintings move between moments of colour and areas of space.
Karen van de Vliet treats paint as a physical material. In her work, the paint extends beyond the surface of the canvas, pushing the painting towards object.
Together, these four positions explore colour as a shared field, sometimes dense and concentrated, sometimes open and light, but always materially present.
