Essence of Blue - SALA exhibition

Next date: Wednesday, 07 August 2024 | 11:00 AM to 03:00 PM

Since antiquity, the colour blue has influenced world cultures, particularly around the Mediterranean as in the poet Homer’s evocative image of the ‘wine dark sea’. Blue was also the colour of the city of Athens, as an homage to goddess Athena and her brilliant blue eyes. The elusive hue reveals itself at the edges of our world, at the farthest point of the horizon and the deepest stretches of the sea.

Blue has influenced our perceptions of the natural world, our built environments, fashion, symbols and logos, divinity and royalty. It is also a social construct, and like other colours, can tap into our deepest desires and affect our emotions — or even the course of history. In the hands of 8 talented artists and their mediums this exhibition explores the many interpretations of Blue.

Come along and experience this exhibition, presented by the Organisation of Hellene & Hellene Cypriot Women of Australia SA Inc).
