Blue miles for the ocean, green miles through the palm trees, and yellow miles over sandy stretches

Overview

Blue miles for the ocean, green miles through the palm trees, and yellow miles over sandy stretches. No, that’s not the tagline of my indie-beach-poetry fusion Tumblr blog; it's the title of Bus Projects' upcoming July exhibition, which brings together seven artists in conversation about the role that colour plays in their work and practice.

From the sensual to the sensible, each artist has evaluated unique reasons behind the interaction with and use of colour through ongoing discussions, games and information sharing. The result is a mixed palette of styles and explorations in this group show, featuring work from experienced Australian artists including Jeremy Eaton, Minna Gilligan, Georgina Glanville, Jethro Harcourt, Annabelle Kingston, Cheralyn Lim and Max Lawrence White.

The exhibition runs July 3–20, with the opening event at the Collingwood gallery on Wednesday, July 3, from 6–8pm.

It might be a good idea to brush up on the Pantone Colour of the Year for appropriate banter purposes (it’s Emerald, FYI).
