Chromatic

Colour is not an intrinsic prop­erty of matter but the result of the reflec­tion or refrac­tion of light by the objects that surround us. It is thus the result of the inter­ac­tion between light and matter. Coloured glass absorbs certain wave- lengths of white light and then reflects a certain light spec­trum, recre­at­ing in the view­er’s eye the colour chosen by the artist.

Chro­matic celeb­rates colour through mudac’s contem­por­ary glass collec­tion by present­ing a selec­tion of pieces in attract­ive hues. The exhib­its also reveal a rich array of shapes and tech­niques, as well as the work of well-known glass makers.

Inspired by the colour wheel of the Swiss painter and teacher Johannes Itten, the exhib­i­tion immerses visit­ors into a colour­ful sens­ory universe. Contrast, comple­ment­ar­ity and primary colour, hot and cold, are some of the themes of this colour­ful exhib­i­tion.

Mind your eyes, colour ahead!
