Black White and Gray: an Achromatic Color Exhibit is an elegant show which includes exciting nature drawing, graphic form and a wide range of abstraction using only black, white and works in gray too.
Black and white sit on opposing ends of the grayscale. As with all achromatic colors, black lacks hue and absorbs all light wavelengths. White combines and reflects all visible wavelengths, so while it contains all colors, it is still perceived as lacking hue. The contrast between white and black is the greatest of any color combination, providing a bold and dramatic look.
Famous artworks using an achromatic color scheme—composed entirely of black, white, and grey—focus on form, contrast, and texture over color include Bridget Riley’s op-art piece “White Disks”, Kazimir Malevich’s “Black Square”, featuring a simple black square on a white background, Robert Motherwell’s “Elegy to the Spanish Republic” series, Vija Celmins’ gray-toned illustrations of oceans, deserts, and night skies, and Franz Kline’s large-scale, black-and-white abstract expressionist paintings, such as “Black, White, and Gray”. The artists in Black White & Gray: An Achromatic Color Exhibit present works in black, white and gray using their own monochromatic voice and vocabulary.In keeping with our love of music, “Black White & Gray: an Achromatic Color Exhibition” is dedicated to the song “Back to Black” by Amy Winehouse, an English singer, songwriter, and musician, a global phenomena, who blended jazz, soul, R&B into her music. Known for her distinctive contralto vocals, beehive hairstyle and tattoo’s, Amy won five Grammys and was the first British woman to do so. “Back to Black” is a critically acclaimed 2006 song detailing intense emotional turmoil, heartbreak, and despair following a breakup and reclaiming her power while singing it. We loved Amy and this song, as well as so many of her other songs.
