CMYvärve

CMYvärve is a conceptual art project and artistic exploration of color theory, specifically focusing on the subtractive color model. The project, often presented through installations and digital media, aims to demonstrate and re-examine the relationships between Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and their interactions with Black (K). The name itself, a portmanteau of "CMYK" and the Swedish word for "color" (värve), signifies a deeper dive into the nuances of these primary colors and their practical and theoretical applications in art and design.

Artists involved in CMYvärve investigate how these pigments combine, absorb, and reflect light to produce a vast spectrum of visible hues. This often involves experiments with transparency, layering, and light projection to create dynamic visual experiences. The project seeks to move beyond the basic understanding of CMYK as a printing standard, highlighting its potential for expressive and transformative artistic outcomes. Through its exhibitions and online presence, CMYvärve encourages viewers to reconsider their perception of color and the fundamental principles that govern its creation.
