A contextual and technical exploration of the color red. Red is one of the most recognizable colors, long associated with fire, blood, passion, danger, and political symbolism. The project explores its history and cultural meaning while testing different methods of color mixing and visual experimentation.
This study explores red through different materials and techniques, including action painting inspired by Jackson Pollock and collage on A3 Canson paper. It also examines how the amount of empty space affects the composition.
Building on this study, I explored red on a larger A2 surface using a single medium. Rather than relying on conventional color theory, I focused on the tactile qualities of the material.
