    GALLERY CONCEPT

    The London gallery’s distinctive premises transport the visitor from the real world into a magical setting, dominated by Sacré Blue (Sacred Blue) toned velvet walls of the exhibition room. Sacrè Blue was selected to represent the London adventure and the theme of the Journey, inspired by the importance of the colour blue throughout the History of Art. From the heavenly visions of Giotto to Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ and Yves Klein’s expressions, blue has always been employed to represent the world beyond our horizon.

    The Sacrè Blue embodies the most powerful of all colours. The precious blue pigment was widely used first in Europe, in the 14th Century, following the new Church rule to wear the Holy Mary in Blue, instead of Red as it was depicted before, thus aligning the colour with a divine presence. Later, the Renaissance liberated blue from the Church, and the colour was used once again to depict mysterious worlds in everyday life. In modern times, the colour blue was celebrated and largely used by the Impressionists. In the early days of the movement, the Impressionists were not understood by contemporary art critics and audiences because their new style of painting had evolved beyond the traditional criterion of art. However, Van Gogh has given new meanings to the colour blue and transformed our perception of colours and art once again.

    Blue represents the New, the Unknown and the Spiritual. Blue is the colour of the avant-garde, the colour of revelations, which eventually became part of the dazzling world of the New Figurative, the latest colourful revolution in the history of contemporary art, which Dorothy Circus Gallery has the honour to promote and represent.
