Earls Court Gallery will present ‘Intervals Between Colour,’ an exhibition featuring Dara Aram, Katharine Kennie and Nancy Benoy, in its main gallery at 215 Ottawa Street North, Hamilton, from October 8 through November 14, 2026. Inspired by Josef Albers’ colour theory, the exhibition explores colour through its relationships with other colours, forms, materials and spaces.
For Josef Albers, colour is never entirely fixed: its appearance and effect can change according to the colours that surround it, creating relationships of contrast, harmony, tension and transformation. Together, the artists invite viewers to consider colour as active rather than static—a force that changes according to what surrounds it and what it encounters. ‘Intervals Between Colour’ asks viewers to look beyond individual colours and pay attention to the spaces between them: the moments of contrast, transformation, harmony and tension where perception itself begins to shift.
Dara Aram’s atmospheric paintings consider the intersections of colour, nature, memory, displacement and human experience. Katharine Kennie builds layered paintings inspired by the patterns, structures and rhythms of the natural world, allowing colour and texture to accumulate over time.
Nancy Benoy explores colour through play and experimentation, combining saturated pigment, line and form across painting, assemblage and sculpture.
