B6 april 28, 2016 ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT The Western Carolinian Color + Theory: Past + Present art exhibit at FAM Madeline Moore Junior Editor Color theory is a guide to color mixing and the effects that certain color combina- tions have visually on the brain. Color theory principles have been around since the early 15th century. If youve taken an art class,or two, you should know that it also encompass- es the three categories ofcolors: primary, . secondary and tertiary. Since February 18, the John W. Bardo Cen- ters Fine Art Museum on Western Carolina Universitys campus has been showcasing an exhibit called Color + Theory: Past + Pres- ent. The exhibition will continue through- out the remainder of the semester. The reception for the exhibit was held on April 7 and featured an artist discussion followed by a view of the exhibit with one of the artists. This exhibit is made up of art from both past and present modern era artists that _ utilized color theory, hence the name. According to the Fine Art Museums website, This exhibition in- cludes prints by Josef Albers, major works by renowned color field painter and Asheville native Kenneth No- land and new work by Odili Donald Odita, an abstract painter whose work explores color both in the figurative art historical context and in the sociopolitical sense. Josef Albers was an American artist and educator who lived from 1888 to 1976. Hes known for being one of the German Bauhaus artists who helped further advance color theory artwork. West- ern Carolinas exhibi- tion had the opportu- nity of including an original 1963 edition of Albers Interaction of Color, complete with 150 silkscreen color plates. Albers other artwork could be identified by his tendency to layer shapes and experiment with transparency principles. As stated by the Fine Art Museums website, Exhibition goers will have the opportunity to interact with the 150 color plates digitally in the 50th anniversary digital edition of Inter- action of Color. Kenneth Noland was an American abstract painter who lived from 1924 to 2010. It has been said that he was greatly influenced by Josef Albers and his work. Noland was known for being one of the Ameri- can Color Field paint- ers. tes Color field painting is a form of abstract painting that was " prominent in the 40s and 50s in New York City. It is often charac- terized by large areas of flat, solid color that create a relatively flat and non-textured dynamic. This was a movement that didnt care so much about the gestures and brush- strokes of painting. Nolands work could be characterized by his use of circles, sharp points and edges, and sometimes a contrast between the two. Odili Donald Odita was born in 1966 and has been identified as a black American artist who paints large-scale abstract pieces that utilizes color. His work has been considered to bring up issues in race and society. His art has been known to some- times take up whole walls, corners and rooms. His art could also be identified by the unique combinations of patterns and designs that utilize aspects of color theory. When viewing the pieces of art in this ex- - hibit, one cant help but feel satisfied with the seemingly careful and intentional patterns de- picted or with the color combinations used. The effects of the various qualities often used in this style of art are clearly evident. Pastel colors contrasted with darker shades draw the eyes in. Cool colors like blue, deep teal and muted pink - create a calming sen- sation, while vibrant reds, oranges and tropi- cal turquoises create feelings of excitement and happiness. Make sure to stop Odili Donald Oditas work entitled Night Time by and check out this exhibit along with the other artwork cur- rently being shown in the Fine Art Museum located on campus in the Bardo Arts Center. Museum hours are 10 a.m.4 p.m. Monday through Friday, except for on Thursdays when hours are extended un- til 7 p.m. The museum is closed on weekends Photo by Emily Dorsey/STAFF and holidays.
