In the landscape of contemporary art the question artists continue to ask themselves relates to their own unique place in the world as they (we) perceive it. Each artist possesses an original fingerprint identity that belongs to them alone, prompting introspection on how this singular identity fits into the larger shared consciousness of being human. Hue (You) intertwines the presence of the artist with the presence of the individual, emphasising the intimate connection between the creator and their creation. It also speaks to the spectator as a subtle reminder of their own presence and existence in space. The wordplay in the title underscores the presence of "you"—both the artist and the viewer—highlighting the shared experience of being "here" in the present moment.  

 

"You Are Here" is an evocative exploration of creative identity that delves into the unique presence of the artist within their work and the profound moment of connection experienced by the audience. This exhibition invites artists to showcase their creative processes, revealing the personal, cultural, and emotional layers that shape their art.
