Colorful Textures: Synaesthesia in Art

8th Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition

The Rubin-Frankel Gallery at Boston University

Synaesthesia [sin-is-thee-zhee-uh]: a joining together of sensations that are normally experienced separately. Different textures, shapes, and lines can create a more vivid experience for people who experience synaesthesia, yet it applies to everyone's experience of art in how highly textural, colorful pieces leave more of an imprint on our minds. Art can be an escape from reality, and highly textural, synesthetic artwork can lead us to fully experience this escape. Colorful Textures represents the antithesis of tedious, theoretical, and academic artwork.
