HOT•BED

Late Night Fridays return to HOT BED with music and more! Featuring DJs Krispy & nothingspecial spinning all night. No cover!

HOT BED is pleased to present LEADING A COLORFUL LIFE, an ambitious six-person exhibition of painting, print, and sculpture from artists connected to Philadelphia. LEADING A COLORFUL LIFE asks viewers to reflect on what color means to them personally: where in your life do you find color? What might it mean for you to live a “colorful life?”The six artists in this show approach color from distinctly unique positions. Ziui Chen uses color to meld Euro-American and Chinese painting traditions, re-coloring her childhood with fantastical vignettes of intimacy and affection. Krista Dedrick-Lai uses vibrant and contrasting hues to paint the emotional intensities of motherhood. Sean Gerstley’s ceramic works explore the whimsy and joy of adding color in unexpected places around the home. Su Knoll Horty’s Color Pops utilize what she calls “analogous tones” to create cosmic, environmental works. Eric Uhlir’s energetic style and dense scenes rely on color’s full spectrum to deliver dynamic and immersive compositions. Maria Zamora’s textiles and painting masterfully utilize fundamental color schemes to maximum effect, relishing in the richness of colors both natural and unnatural.LEADING A COLORFUL LIFE embraces the beauty that flows from bringing together six distinct approaches to color. The works presented in this show balance deeply personal methods with a universal appreciation for the magnitude of color, resonating on a profound level that encourages personal introspection, conversation, and imagination. With this exhibition, HOT BED hopes to inspire visitors to reflect on what color means to them and how they might lead a colorful life.
