The exhibition features around fifty paintings, ranging widely in scale and price, from intimate works on paper to large-scale canvases. Each artist explores a distinct relationship with the material and symbolic life of colour: Tim Millen’s creaturely forms navigate a dissolving natural order; Elizabeth Cope’s new and past works form a vibrant continuum of struggle and renewal; and Budi Gugi’s poetic paintings balance solitude, joy, and sorrow through a meditative use of light and tone. Peter Burns’ vivid narratives blend myth and humour in charged compositions, while Nuala Clarke’s atmospheric abstractions evoke the sensory experience of place and memory.
Together, these artists create a dialogue that moves beyond boundaries—tradition and experimentation, the seen and the felt. Colour Beyond the Pale celebrates painting’s enduring ability to illuminate, to provoke, and to connect through the transformative language of colour.
