Any element becomes important when it’s connected to another.




A palette of colours can be so reflective of the period in which it is used. 
It can tell the future viewer much about the psyche of that particular time. 
At the same time, a particular palette of colours can be perennial and can connect very different times, places and viewers in a universal way. 

The above imagery shows a 2013 painting by Australian artist Ross Laurie, entitled ‘Berlin’
which engages the same palette of colours as ceramics created in the mid 20th century by Australian ceramist Martin Boyd.

Unexpected colour combinations have an enduring resonance to the eye and the soul regardless of when they are used.
