The noticing of colour was once a fundamental part of human life. This archetypal trace is still seen in how we primarily organise our reality according to the colour. Newborns can firstly see contrasts between black and white, before they can differentiate a shape. Out of this duality comes the third, which is the first primary colour that infants are able to distinguish - red. This happens in the initial few weeks of life, which implies, that one of the very first connections to the world in human perception and learning is happening through seeing colours. Black, White, Red.
Jan Urant (*1984) lives and works in Wiltshire, UK and Prague. He is close to the Anglo-Saxon painting tradition, characterised by its consistently innovative relationship to colourism. The artist's work can best be understood by approaching the specific approach to colour, subject matter, photography and title that defines the basic boundaries of his artistic world. The exhibition Blossom depicts colourful landscapes, nostalgia and childhood memories.
