CHROMA VECTOR
August 20 to September 11, 2026
Chroma Vector brings together the work of artists Nuha Saad and Pollyxenia Joannou in an exploration of colour, geometry and spatial experience. Through painting and sculpture, the artists examine abstraction as a means of exploring memory, place and perception, revealing the ways in which form can communicate both personal and collective experience.
Nuha Saad’s new works, collectively titled Patterns of Place consider memory as something both held and continually slipping away. Combining architectural ornament, geometry and colour, the works draw on the language of the domestic interior, spaces shaped by repetition, ritual, and the accumulation of lived experience. Fragments of memories are gathered, reordered, and reframed. Shaped by diaspora, intergenerational inheritance, and acts of remembrance, these memories shift between what was lived, retold, and what is imagined. Ornamental forms provide structure for holding what cannot be held, while colour marks the emotional register of remembered places, where recollection and imagination begin to merge. For Saad, the sculptures exist as quiet containers and topographical recordings for what remains of stories told, as they speak to the impulse to preserve, while acknowledging that memory is never fixed, instead, it shifts with time, becoming layered, partial, and continually remade.
