Collect Art is thrilled to announce a new international open call, inviting artists to explore the radical power of limitation: ONE COLOUR CHALLENGE.
What happens when you strip away the rainbow? When an entire world has to live inside a single hue?
For this edition, we invite artists to submit artworks using only one colour and its shades, tints, and tones.
No full palette. No compromise. One colour is never just one colour. It is a memory, a temperature, a political statement, a cultural code. It can be violent or tender, sacred or toxic, nostalgic or futuristic.
Restricting yourself to a single chromatic field forces you to see differently — to find depth in monochrome, emotion in nuance, and infinity in a limit. We want to see how far you can push it.
Open to visual artists worldwide, aged 18 and above, working in various media, including painting, drawing, collage, installation, illustration, photography, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, assemblage, fibre art, paper art, printmaking, 3D digital art, glass art, metalwork, and more.
Whether your work is minimalist or maximalist, abstract or figurative, quiet or loud — if it lives and breathes in one colour, we want to see it.
