Colour Theory with Richard Bell (2013)

Colour Theory is an Indigenous art program focusing on contemporary indigenous artists . Artist and self proclaimed 'show off' Richard Bell will introduce the audience to the artists and offer his 'insiders' insight into what makes them tick. Presenting the work of various artists of all ages, from right across Australia, Colour Theory demonstrates the incredible range of Indigenous artistic expression and practice. Featuring works in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, textiles, weaving, new media, photo media, printmaking, installation and performance. Through the stories of our featured artists we gain an insight into how artists work within the broader context of the community. We follow the artistic process from inception to production to exhibition. We see the local, national and international contribution artists make, the challenges they face and how art benefits the community through employment, education, cultural maintenance and economic development.
