Curated by Nic Bannerman, Energy of Color explores the profound relationship between artists and their environments. The distinct palettes of land, sea, and sky influence both conscious and instinctive artistic choices. The result is a body of work that pulses with life, emotion, and a deep sense of place. Experience a dynamic range of media, including painting, ceramics, and photography, all unified by a passionate engagement with color as a storytelling force.
This immersive and vibrant show features the work of North Shore artists who draw inspiration from the striking hues and natural beauty of Cape Ann and beyond. Whether rooted in the shimmering coastal light or influenced by far-flung travels, each piece in this exhibition offers a unique interpretation of color’s emotional and expressive power.
