"As people look for ways to fortify themselves with energy, clarity, and hope to overcome the continuing uncertainty, spirited and emboldening shades satisfy our quest for vitality. PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating is a bright and cheerful yellow sparkling with vivacity, a warming yellow shade imbued with solar power." - Pantone

This artwork is a single color. I've always been fascinated and impacted by the use of color in minimalism and high concepts, from nearly having an out of body experience standing in front of a Rothko, to watching Derek Jarman's 'Blue', a film about him dying of aids, showing only a single color.

Can you own a color?, you can own an idea, you can own some hope. My brother and his young family have contracted Covid - so this is personal for me too.

"Illuminating is aspirational and gives us hope. We need to feel that everything is going to get brighter – this is essential to the human spirit." - Pantone
