An exhibition exploring light and colour through a range of techniques, textures and processes. The work has been developed by a group of Magic Carpet Artists who use art as a way to respond to the seasons and the shifts in mood and atmosphere they bring.

The exhibition focuses on experimentation — Texture plays a central role, adding depth and structure while reflecting each artist’s individual approach.

This collection highlights the diversity of creative voices within the group. While connected by a shared interest in colour and seasonal change, each artist brings their own perspective and method, resulting in work that is both cohesive and distinct.

For the Love of Colour presents colour as a tool for expression, exploration and individuality.
