Chromotherapia: The Feel-Good Color Photography offers genuine relief from the black-and-white world.

Often disparaged, not always taken seriously, colour photography has nevertheless allowed artists to get out their palettes and "paint." Many have freed themselves from the medium's documentary status to explore the common roots of the image and the imaginary, flirting with the worlds of Surrealism and Pop.

Famed Italian visual artist and curator Maurizio Cattelan and curator Sam Stourdzรฉ offer a rereading of the history of colour photography through the 20th century into the 21st. Through the works of over 20 artists, they take us on a journey into vibrant, acidulous worlds. Treat yourself to sunny yellow, azure blue, bright red, bubbly orange and more, straight from the lenses of the biggest names in colour photography.

Artists include: Yevonde Middleton, Harold Edgerton, Erwin Blumenfeld, Walter Chandoha, William Wegman, Hiro, Guy Bourdin, Alex Prager, Juno Calypso, Adrienne Raquel, Miles Aldridge, Ouka Leele, Hassan Hajjaj, Ruth Ossai, Pierre et Gilles, Sandy Skoglund, Martin Parr, Arnold Odermatt, Toiletpaper.
