About this artwork
Colour only exists within our mind; it is the most elusive of all our worldly experiences. Objects do not possess colour they only reflect light. When our mother pointed to a fire engine in a storybook and told us it was red, our brain perceived it as a colour, but colour is only a collective mind map we “learn” from. It is from this premise that “Black Sun” was conceived. It is a continuation of one of the artist’s favorite themes, the relationship…
between perception, language and visual senses. The artist systematically and meticulously retrieved adjectives describing colour, then, with the diligence of a lexicographer, the words were ordered alphabetically to form the parameter of a circle, a container. Into this mix, a bright, striking colour is used to represent the one ‘non-colour’. Black. With this play of words and light the artist shifts the viewers concept of the colours

« Working with a pre-established plan is a way to avoid subjectivity, it is the rule that will determine the work. -Sol Lewitt »
Brigitte Williams is a photographer, draftsman, and printmaker based in France whose works have been exhibited nationally, as well as in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, the United States, and Italy. As a response to her dyslexia, her artistic research is oriented towards different forms of language, both verbal and non-verbal. In addition, Williams explores the discrepancy that exists between a word, a color, or a geometric sign and the resonance it provokes.
