The name of the exhibition is RGB, which comes from the three primary colors of light. R is Red, G is Green, and B is Blue. In the digital world, RGB mode is regarded as an additive mode, which is a standardization of color. RGB mode is defined as a system that produces different colors by stacking and mixing the three basic colors of red, green and blue in different proportions.

 

Does that mean that the core of the exhibition is to focus on color? This depends on what color is and how to understand it. Color, by definition, is a visual effect on light produced by the combined reactions of the eye, brain and life experience. At the same time, it is also a formal element that can cause our aesthetic pleasure. Color is an important element in the art world, which can express emotions and directly affect the feelings of the recipient. In representational art, color has the effect of reproducing objects and creating an illusion space. Color can be understood as a set of visual language system containing emotion, which is unstable due to its rich changes.

 

Does color exist only in the visual representations received by the viewer? In Newton's color theory, Color is an independent and objective thing. But Goethe believed that color should also be "subjective" and produced in consciousness. This paper discusses the color properties in color ontology, that is, whether they belong to the physical properties of objects or the properties of colors themselves. Although the color discrimination is a kind of visual nerve induction, but people can not completely rely on physiological function operation to describe the color. For example, the concept of "color synesthesia" is an associative perceptual response caused by interaction in the process of color perception. This concept is an exploration of the inner spiritual quality and attribute of color, and it is of great significance to enhance and expand the visual language system of color. attributes.

 

In this exhibition, the audience may not be able to see the three obvious and representational colors classified according to visual colors, red, green and blue, but the works of young artists Cao Yalin, Ding Yi and Wang Dan are endowed with the attributes of three different colors in the exhibition, which are presented in a non-visual color form. Their artistic styles and research directions are different, but they are combined together like RGB mode, which can create countless possibilities

R

Anish Kapoor believes that red is our internal color. In a sense, red is a color from the inside out. Red contains all kinds of positive and negative passions, and hides real experiences. It is a symbolic symbol of inner desire, and refers to the more powerful dimension of emotion. Such extreme and passionate emotion will also rise to the legal and moral areas and other social issues, more to the modern living state of thinking.

G

Green is the common color in nature. It can bring unconscious relaxation, and produces healthy, fresh and natural feelings. At the same time, it is a symbol of life force and nature. It is also a symbol of hope, with an energy that connects us to the unknown. Green has innate mystical magic, and can trigger the relationship between nature and human society and other thinking. 

 

 

Yalin Cao

Yalin graduated from Chelsea MAFA, University of the Arts London with a master's degree in Fine Art. Currently lives and works in Qingdao, Shandong province. Yalin has been thinking about the relationship and distance between the audience and the works. She believes that works are given a new meaning when the audience interacts with them. In most of her works, she pays more attention to emotional, natural and social phenomena, in which there are also people's participation. The specific behavior of human beings often reflects the collective unconscious left by history.

B

Blue is the most resonant color for human beings. It represents not only the depth and infinity of nature, but also a metaphor for emotional and psychological states. It is the driving force that leads human beings to cross reality and step into the realm of imagination. It exists in desire, distance, and the unknown. The blue world is physical and visible, but it is also nihilistic and abstract. Because it is not at the end of the endless distance, but blurred in the boundary between the distance and the end. 

 

DingYi

Dingyi Feng, digital virtual artist, designer, DJ and lives in London and Beijing.  Most of its projects are about the elaboration of the visual logic between reality and the virtual, and the deconstruction and blurring of the opposition between the virtual and the real. Most of the works reproduce abstract imaginary images and simulated space in the form of Postproduction, and carry out multi-dimensional conversion practice of abstract space with a manual and computer-mechanical contemporary media. It is more about the exploration of the boundary of re-simulation and the error of regeneration from the perspective of virtual scene.
