A single colour allows us to explore emotions in a way that multiple colours do not give space for. It pulls us in, asks questions, all be it without speaking. A cool colour like blue can be seen as everything from ‘having the blues’ feeling sad to all the way to artist Yevs Kliens’s Patterned colour YKB. He said that his tonal paintings allowed for an  “open window to freedom, as the possibility of being immersed in the immeasurable existence of colour.” So what does it stand for in the world of beauty? Maybe a little bit of a beautiful mystery? Find out more in The Mystery of Beautiful Blue<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1956, with the assistance of a chemical technician, the artist Yves Klein succeeded in suspending his favourite ultramarine pigment in petroleum extracts, which allowed the pigment to maintain its brilliance and something of its powdery texture without dulling. <\/p>\n\n\n

He named the substance International Klein Blue (IKB). He went on to produce several monochromatic paintings in the signature colour, titling each International Klein Blue<\/em>, combined with a serial number. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He believed IKB was the perfect instrument with which to elaborate his belief in spiritual powers and the immaterial; ultramarine is the traditional symbolic colour of the Holy Ghost in the Christian religion and also evokes the expanse of the infinite sky and the depth of the oceans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
