Jamie Nelson - The Colour Black

“When I fell in love with black, it contained all colour. It wasn’t a negation of colour. It was an acceptance. Black is the most aristocratic colour of all.” ~ Louise Nevelson

In this series, Jamie explores colour theory using the contrast between rich black skin tones and technicolour hues.

Jamie uses colour-blocking with clashing tones to create a bold impact. Fluorescent backdrops set the stage, as black skin tones form dynamic negative shapes, creating a silhouette effect.

Known for her use of colour, Jamie uses black skin as the backdrop to colourful pigments and painterly brush strokes. Metallic Sudanese jewellery adorns the skin, for an additional study of texture and dimension.

Using black skin as both the canvas and the brushstroke, Jamie proves that black contains all colour. She illustrates that the colour black is not a negation of colour but rather the colour of beauty.
