COLOR SCENARIO

Title of the Project:  COLOR SCENARIO 

Artists Involved:

Introduction: Meeting in Berlin, after working on a

Music collaboration project, We found a connection

through our similar ways of creative thinking.

(among other things) . Our blind collaboration is a

fusion of artistic visions, techniques, and

narratives, aiming to create a cohesive experience

for the audience. This project reflects our shared

passion for creativity and follow through on ideas

and showcases the unique way each artist brings the

concept to fruition.

Concept: Blind Collaboration where the central

concept is color. Each was given the guidelines of

4 20X20cm canvas’ to be completed every month

starting in Sept 2023.  Each month was assigned a

color.  The idea of each month being assigned a

color was conjured up by Maryna Russo and

presented  to Zeb Ringer, where we hashed out the

final details together. Never to speak or show

each other what we’ve done til the unveiling

where both artists will put their works together to

make 12 80x80 paintings or artworks. We are

fascinated by the outcome of the guidelines that we

were both given and how it  impacts our process

and perceptions. Through our combined efforts, we

seek to delve deeper into this subject, offering a

nuanced perspective that highlights both the

commonalities and differences in our approaches.

Process: Our process involved minimal to no

dialogue, experimentation, and mutual inspiration.

Each artist contributed their distinct style and

medium, mainly  painting, ink drawings and mixed

media.. We engaged in no exchange of ideas

critiques, and revisions, ensuring that the final

work embodies the essence of our collaborative

goal:  The unveiling.

Individual Contributions:

• Maryna Russo: facilitator. Contributing 48 small

  
  

  scale (20x20) mixed media paintings

  
  
  

• Zeb Ringer: co-facilitator.  Contributing 48

  
  

  small scale  (20x20)....  paintings 
  
  

Outcome: The outcome is a harmonious blend of our

individual strengths, resulting in a series of

works that are both visually compelling and

thought-provoking. Each piece in the series stands

on its own while contributing to the overall

narrative of the project.

Conclusion: Through this (blind) collaboration, we

have not only produced a body of work that we are

proud of, but we have also grown as artists,

learning from each other and pushing the boundaries

of our creativity. We hope that our audience will

engage with the work on many levels, and find their

own meanings within our collective expression.

Invitation: We invite you to explore our work, to

witness the dialogue between different artistic

languages, and to experience the unified vision

that emerges from our collaborative effort. Thank

you for being a part of this journey with us.

COMING SOON.
