Enter the world of Symmetries

Graham Fudger presents Symmetries, a new series of 4K UHD moving-image works exploring the psychology of colour, balance, and perception. A multidisciplinary contemporary artist working across digital media, sculpture, and photography, Fudger has spent decades investigating the relationship between humanity, technology, and the natural world. His career has taken him across five continents, while his recent work has focused increasingly on colour as both a sensory and conceptual medium.

Following a year-long study of Colour in Contemporary Art funded by Arts Council England and a residency at Sir Isaac Newton’s family home, Fudger has continued to explore how colour shapes emotion, memory, and perception. Through exhibitions and projects spanning institutions including the Millennium Gallery Sheffield and Oxford University Museum of Natural History, his practice has established a distinctive dialogue between art, science, and sensory experience.

In Symmetries, colour becomes a meditative language. Comparative transitions of hue are paired with dawn chorus field recordings captured around the artist’s studio, creating immersive environments in which sensation and stimulus circulate on the fringes of conscious thought. These works do not demand attention through spectacle, but instead invite viewers into a state of calm curiosity, where analysis and contemplation exist in balance. Designed to be experienced slowly, preferably in a darkened room, the collection transforms subtle shifts in colour and sound into spaces for reflection.

The three works each explore a different dimension of symmetry and perception. Aequalitas investigates sensory and psychological balance as colour sensations morph and resolve. Convenientia reflects on harmony through the synchronized movement of paired forms. Geminos explores mirrored structures and kaleidoscopic repetition, stimulating the visual cortex with imagery that appears simultaneously static and alive. Together, the works create a contemplative experience where motion, colour, and sound become inseparable.
