‘Ultramar. Dialogues between blue and art’ is a collective exhibition curated by Norberto Legidos, showcasing the works of thirteen artists from the regions of Castilla-La Mancha and Valencia. The exhibition revolves around a common element: ultramarine blue, a colour rich in history and symbolism that serves as a meeting point for various artistic languages.
The display includes a selection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, and artist books, among other disciplines, exploring the expressive and conceptual possibilities of blue. For some artists, ultramarine represents the colour and its infinite shades; for others, it evokes distance, travel, the unknown, or what lies beyond the horizon. The sea thus becomes a metaphor for connection between territories, cultures, and experiences.
Through different techniques, styles, and sensitivities, the works create a dialogue that merges abstraction and figuration, personal experiences, and reflections on the contemporary world. Ultimately, ‘Ultramar’ offers a visual and sensory journey where blue acts as a common thread, inviting spectators to explore new meanings and perspectives beyond a singular viewpoint.
