The presentation this year includes a fraction of an installation “Passionate Curiosity About Blue by Izabella Kay first shown during Art Miami Basel week at Red Dot 2010 . “Passionate Curiosity About Blue is the artist’s further chapter within the project Perception Altered, investigating the property & mystery of colour “ the intention is to present the complexity and narrative of Blue and its consequences. It is a conscious step and commitment to neutralize other colour temptation, break new rules and communicate the importance of monochromatic experience. The project offers endless solutions of rearrangement changing the energy of the whole piece and can be broken up into separate entities. The surround and immersion of this kind is supposed to re-affirm the well-known superiority of Blue and its regal and majestic status. Although constricted within space, the work offers no dimensions because “Blue has no dimensions. It is beyond the dimensions..”. (Yves Klein on Blue). Indeed the work should feel beyond dimension. It projects the unlimited spectrum of solutions and creative energy, which is both stimulating and calming. It is like an overture to spiritual yearning, complex like a piece of music and building up to your own emotional crescendo or peaceful journey. Traditionally associations with Blue vary with different countries but Blue remains a universal language of loyalty and wisdom; it is rational, idealistic and tranquil. It represents water, air and heaven, peace and serenity, the colour of hope and generosity, conveys trust and trustfulness, heals and supposedly treats pain. Most of all it keeps us wondering. The variety of textures and transparency is designed to let us see beyond the physical world so we can immerse in each piece, become intimate in order to step back and comprehend the vastness that has only been touched upon.” Izabella Kay 2009 (She has exhibited internationally and sold all her works for 8 years. She has numerous collectors in the U.K., Poland, Italy, Germany, France,. Switzerland and USA.
