How do you make colours?

Gemma Smith is one of Australia’s most acclaimed abstract artists working today. Her artworks reveal a fascination, and obsession, with colour and how it can change, trick, and move you.

In this episode of Outside the Lines, we head to Gemma’s studio where she shares how colours are made, and how she uses colours in special ways to play tricks on your eyes. Colours are actually more complicated than you had ever imagined!

Listen now to Outside The Lines with Gemma Smith. Maybe after listening to this episode you’ll see colour in a whole new way too!

Outside the Lines is a Kinderling co-production with the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art’s Children’s Art Centre. This production was possible thanks to the generous support of the Neilson Foundation.
