exhibition color of my dream

“Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul.”

— Wassily Kandinsky

Perception of color by the human eye has challenged and excited artists for centuries to express and translate how colors can act on our emotions and state of mind. Matisse summarized part of art history through a color lens when he wrote: "“From Delacroix to Van Gogh, and especially Gauguin, through the Impressionists, who cleared the way and Cezanne, who gave the definitive impulse and introduced colored volumes, one can follow this rehabilitation of the role of color, and the restitution of its emotive powers.” Infinite potential lies within search for and discovery of the power of color. We feel it is best left to the artists to express it through their work. The five artists in the “Color of My Dreams” exhibition bring out the mystery, magic, and dynamism of color in their own unique ways. So please look, feel and allow yourself to be moved by these works!

ArtMuse Selects presents a featured virtual exhibition, curated by Natasha Schlesinger, that takes its inspiration from the energy, speed, community and gritty urban setting of a city. As our society comes back from isolation and turbulence of 2020, we return to the city, its streets becoming busy once again, its sidewalks bustling with action once more, outdoor restaurants filling up with revelers, locals and visitors wanting to celebrate and return to some sort of normalcy. A city like New York will never disappear but will simply evolve, re-invent itself and re-emerge as a phoenix from the ashes of the past. Five artists in the current show present works that remember, feature and give hope to the city and the urban setting.
