Jamie Nelson – The Colour Black
A bold exploration of colour and the power of 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
Addicted Art Gallery is proud to unveil The Colour Black, a powerful new exhibition by photographer and visual artist Jamie Nelson.
Jamie explores colour theory in this series by contrasting 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 love 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.
This is more than an exhibition—it’s a celebration of identity, culture, and the unspoken poetry of contrast.
