Audible Chroma - 10th Anniversary 2020
A collaborative project of Sharon Roberts,visual artist, and Tim Roberts, composer musician, presented as an exhibition of paintings and music exploring relationships between colour and music, and a CD, Audible Chroma - the sound of colour.
Our direction was to each express, through our art forms of painting and music, our emotive experience of single colours – green, yellow, red, orange, violet, blue, white and black. Rather than exploring the colour of music, we have attempted to express the music of colour.
2020 is the 10th Anniversary of the exhibition at the Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery.
In looking back we have gathered together images, video footage and writings to tell something of the story behind the collaboration.

In this gallery we have:

Audible Chroma – a vis-aural dialogue.
A dialogue between the musician and the painter, between the viewer and the art
A wise man once said:“There is nothing new under the sun”. (Ecclesiastes 1:9 )
Colour-field painting is not new, nor is the exploration of relationships between music and colour, nor even the collaboration between painter and musician. However each generation experiences afresh, and their response, while potentially informed by the work of those who went before, is uniquely their own revelation and outworking, even as it builds on our collective experience.
This series of musical compositions and paintings began in 2005 with ....READ MORE
