The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is proud to present Color Made, an exhibition of work by artists who use color to define and reshape the world. Manipulating bright shades of blue, red, pink, yellow, and green across different mediums such as painting, fabric sculpture, and cast glass, these artists establish spaces where they can create narratives and build community connections. By choosing to cover a surface with color—or by making the color and the surface indivisible—they experiment with the idea of painting, turning the traditional painters’ canvas into an independent, manipulable form and asking if other materials can play the same role.
This exhibition includes a special screening of Beck+Col’s Red Night, an independent feature film set in a colorful world where five monsters come together to defend their queer chosen family against a violent intruder.
Color Made includes art from the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art’s permanent collection (Jason Adkins, Michael Batty, Tim Bavington, Chris Duncan, Jacqueline Ehlis, Ash Ferlito and Matt Taber, Harold Paris, Lyssa Park, Heidi Schwegler, Bettina Werner, and Thomas Ray Willis), as well as guest artworks by Yoko Kondo Konopik, Naes Pierrot, and Beck+Col with Ching Ching Cheng, Sapira Cheuk, and Ofelia Marquez. The film Red Night features art by Tanya Brodsky, Ching Ching Cheng, Sapira Cheuk, Jenny Eom, Vanessa Holyoak, Hea-Mi Kim, Ofelia Marquez, Minga Opazo, Alicia Piller, and Amia Yokoyama.
Color Made will be on view in the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art’s West Gallery from Jan. 17–May 17, 2025, with an opening reception from 5–8 p.m. on the evening of Jan. 24. All are welcome.
