Colours May Vary - Out of Order

 I thought I'd already made a post about this but apparently not.

Colours May Vary is an light and open gallery space with a small shop selling stationary and small items made by professional practitioners as well as a small exhibition space which regularly changes.

The Out of Order exhibition was hosted by 3rd year Illustration students which is a perfect insight for my future self (if I survive that long.)

The exhibition was full of bright and interesting pieces of work created by Level 6. Seeing it all displayed on a wall in a well known Leeds gallery is quite nerve-wracking.

 This piece of work caught my attention because of the use of ambitious shapes and patterns which work collectively to create objects.

The objects and characters have been made with one or two simple shapes with an added pattern to make it more representational, such as the banana.

Would it still look like a banana without the black dots?

This piece was created by Madeleine Richardson.

 This screen print has been created using only 4 colours but the artist has considered how to use tools on Photoshop to make it appear that there are different tones.

This method has been used cleverly to give the effect of the woman's body being under the water which is something I wouldn't have thought of myself.

Composition is a strong point in this piece because of the use of value which has been used to create a three dimensional effect. The viewpoint as almost as if the spectator is stood at the end of the bath and looking down onto her.

This screen print was produced by Tilly Butters.

This design interested me because of how pattern has been used to create separation between the black and white characters.

Texture is also a leading factor of this piece as it makes the characters stand out against the solid red background.

It also makes me wonder why one of the characters is facing the other way.

This piece was created by Billie Francis.

The exhibition as a whole has made me want to put more effort into my current work and be more playful when it comes to trying out new things to make sure I can work to a professional standard by the time I'm in third year. Just like the student's who have their work on display.
