Last weekend, the City Art Gallery came alive with emotion, color, and creativity as local artists gathered for the “Colors of Emotion” exhibition. The event showcased over 40 contemporary artworks that explored the complex relationship between emotion and color.

From bold strokes of red symbolizing passion to soft washes of blue conveying calm, the gallery was transformed into a visual journey through the artist’s psyche. One standout piece was “Whispering Hues” by Emma Laird, a textured oil painting that captivated viewers with its quiet intensity.

Visitors enjoyed live painting sessions, soft jazz music, and a chance to meet the artists behind the masterpieces. It was a powerful reminder that painting is not just about technique—it’s about connection.
