The History and Meaning of the Colour Red in Art

"The colour of danger, scarlet passions, power and prestige — red has commanded the attention of artists for centuries. From the Palaeolithic period to the contemporary, this archetypal colour has been utilized by artists to access the extremes of human experience. Red is blood, lust and rage, beginnings and violent ends. The colour of love and the colour of shame, it is the first true colour humans perceive after black and white".

*Refer to ArtWeb to further explore the rich history of red, from Romans to Rothko.

The exhibition will be in place over Christmas and will remain on display until Thursday, 1st January, 2026.
