Blue Horizons a Group show curated by Santhosh Sadrak

‘Blue Horizons’ The Universe Always gives blue color to represent vastness. The sky, which stretches as far as the eye can see, and the ocean, which expands along with it, are blue in their perfection. Perhaps because a color is able to go deep into the complexities of the human mind and bring the mind to the expanse of peace and concentration, this color, along with human expressions, has gained importance in history. In the annals of art, it can be understood that the influence of the blue color was evident in equal measure in Western countries and Eastern countries. When ancient man looked at nature and drew it in caves, he could clearly see the absence of blue in the colors taken from nature and soil. That was the value of a color that was inaccessible to man. From the discovery of the solid substance lapis lazuli, man added blue to the colors he was able to conquer. He has been transferred to various levels of meaning in the history of painting. This became a major reason for changes in religion, culture, and technology. The use of blue, which was dominant in the West during the medieval and Renaissance periods, was valued in the history of far eastern countries and in the history of Indian art. The color blue has been of paramount importance to painters since ancient times. From Italian Renaissance painter Giotto to Impressionist painters Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh, blue has been a constant source of inspiration. Artists such as Pablo Picasso and Yves Klein, who emerged in the 20th century, pushed the boundaries of blue even further. Picasso's "Blue Period" produced somber and melancholic works like "La Vie" , while monochromatic blue paintings like Klein's "International Klein Blue“ redefined the role of color in modern art. Throughout history, countless artists, including Henri Matisse, have explored the possibilities of blue. From the ethereal to the sentimental, this captivating color has played a vital role in shaping the artistic narrative, and its influence continues to be felt in contemporary art today.
