Colours and Patterns

Work by Philippe Bestenheider






Also found reference to what colours can symbolise in patterns:

blue — peacefulness, harmony and love

green — vegetation, planting, harvesting, growth, spiritual renewal

yellow — preciousness, royalty, wealth, fertility

red — political and spiritual moods; bloodshed; sacrificial rites and death.

black — maturation, intensified spiritual energy

I remember attending the exhibition at the Hayward and being excited by vibrant colours and clashes of culture.
