Virginia Jaramillo's "Blue Space" depicts depicts a sea of blue with a thin line running through a central square. What feelings does the color blue bring to mind? How is the line cutting through it?
To some, the color blue can mean sadness, depression, anxiety, bringing about questions about our existence. What does our future hold? What does tomorrow bring? Perhaps this painting depicts a sea of blue with a thin line of sunlight peaking through. "The Blue Bamboula" by Charles Wuorinen is a chaotic work, whispering of feelings of uneasiness with what lies ahead. But listen closely and see if there is a moment of calm amidst the storm.
