Studio Seine presents the solo exhibition 'Colour doesn't hurt' by Esmee Seebregts. The opening event is on April 10, from 20:00-22:00 H.
The work of Esmee Seebregts is an ode to colour. In her work she focuses entirely on the power of color and the sensory perception it causes. She tries to understand the essence of color and its cultural and supersensible effect in addition to their sensory effect. The colors in her works pulsate, move, pull, push and radiate. They seduce, intoxicate, deceive, enchant and leave us in the intangible. The careful preparation of her own egg tempera paint, casein and the preparation of a substrate for it are an important part of her work. Her colors have an enormous radiance, which is created by the coloring power of the pigments and the clarity of the binder.
The series Colour doesn't Hurt focuses on themes such as guilt, innocence, envy and prejudices. Via these themes, the exuberant experience of pure colour challenges the viewer to either endure, admire or despise the image, which often is loaded with religious stories and cultural references.
