Clare Buckle: Wired for Colour

About

Wired for Colour is a vibrant showcase of printmaking and painting by landscape artist Clare Buckle, whose synesthesia informs a deeply personal and intuitive use of colour. Synesthesia is a neurological trait where stimulation of one sense involuntarily triggers another. In this exhibition you are invited into a sensory world where colour takes on a unique emotional and perceptual resonance. Clare’s recent work explores the way colour can evoke atmosphere and mood and suggest the history or value of a landscape through carefully considered variations or progressions in colour. The inherent repetition of the printmaking process enables layered applications of colour with photographic imagery, while painting allows a more intuitive and spontaneous response to colour, light, and shape in the landscape.
