Step into a world of vibrant imagination with A Colorful Dream, an interactive exhibition by contemporary fine art photographer Adrien Broom. This family-friendly experience follows a young girl’s journey through a series of monochromatic fantasy worlds, each meticulously crafted to explore the emotions and symbolism of the full spectrum of the rainbow. Broom’s large-scale photographs, created without digital manipulation, capture the magic of these handmade sets, bringing fairy-tale-like landscapes to life.
Exclusive to the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, the exhibition features a site-specific installation that reimagines black not as an absence, but as the presence of all colors. This striking addition invites viewers to contemplate color in a new way, blending fantasy and reality in stunning detail.
