Each year, Charlotte Jackson Fine Art brings together a single-color exhibition featuring works of art exploring multiple facets of one color. For 2020 – that color is the achromatic black.    

Nix. A raven perched in a pine. Your shadow, walking beside you on a sunny day. Black is freighted with associations, differing among cultures. From death, mourning, witchcraft, and evil, to power and authority, from fertility or secrets, to fashionable elegance. Black was one of the first colors used in art, found in Neolithic cave paintings, the pigment created from charcoal.    

This one-color exhibition is inspired by a quote by artist Max Cole, who notes that black absorbs the spectrum of light, rather than reflecting it and so, “…exists at the edge of perception and opens the door to the mystery of the unknown.” With works in a wide variety of mediums by a diverse range of artists, including: Max Cole, Constance DeJong, Jeremy Thomas, William Metcalf, Michael Rouillard, Scot Heywood, Liane Nouri, Alan Graham, Tom Waldron, Clark Walding, Hadi Tabatabai and Michael Post – Black is the Queen of Color will entrance viewers with its subtle grace and infinite possibility.
