Blue: a color story

June 1, 2023 – September 1, 2023

Unearthing a cool-toned color study to rival the Ozark summer heat.

Blue: a color story pares down MIXD Gallery’s typical model of maximalism to center one of the driving tenets of visual art—color. The color blue has been a throughline throughout art historical canons, a symbol of purity, divinity, and tranquility. Contemporary psychology also promotes the calming effects that blue pigments serve in its environment. Drop 003 explores a diverse mix of artists’ use of varying blue tones in their work, experimenting across a range of media for a monochromatic immersion that marries the color’s ongoing role in the visual dialogue of history with a cool-toned color study that rivals the Ozark summer heat.
