pubs.rights-statement	Colourism was a solo exhibition of painting, installation and video at Peloton Gallery in Sydney, October - November 2011. It featured a continuation of my investigation into the nature of expanded painting, noticing where painting goes once it breaks its formal boundaries. The work in the show was generated primarily from collaged dust jackets of books on the topics of art, design, media and philosophy. They were then painted with brightly coloured acrylic paint and in the process made abstract and partially obscured. Painting and the world of text and ideas came together mainly on the basis of colour, with colour forming the subject matter of a supporting catalogue essay. The work in the show and the catalogue essay entitled “Red+Yellow+Blue=Painting” examined the idea that colour is the most basic aspect of painting. Despite this long held belief, colour itself is not well understood by science or philosophy. While the show featured many bright colours it stood for a ‘chromophilia’ or love of exuberant colours as opposed to a ‘chromophobia’ a common taboo against the use of many bright colours. The show was favourably reviewed in the Sydney Morning Herald in Spectrum on Saturday 29 October 2012 by Andrew Frost.	en_US

Abstract:

This solo exhibition by Mark Titmarsh explores the spectacular nature of colour and its importance in maintaining the presence of painting in its interface with other media especially sculpture, installation, performance and video. The show includes works on various materials including perspex, book dustjackets and videos of performances that show colour in the trans-substantiated form of coloured balls and spray string. The catalogue essay looks at the historical prejudices against colour and the ways certain artists are nominated, colourists, indicating an historical relationship with colour from pigments of the earth, to synthetic laboratory colours to screen based pixel colour.
