Colour and Feel is Isabel Okoro’s ongoing exploration into the emotional and physiological resonance of colour – how it shapes, reveals, and refracts our inner and outer states. What began as a scientific inquiry into colour perception during the artist’s neuroscience studies has now evolved into a visual language of intimacy and inquiry.

Through monochromatic portraiture and screen-printed transfers, Okoro examines how various hues – pink, blue, red – interact with the body and the breath, calling attention to how we read feeling through colour tones. Inspired by the legacy of Black women artists who have mined colour’s narrative power, this work is also a meditation on tenderness, memory, and mood. Ultimately, Colour and Feel asks how colour might offer a space for reflection, disruption, or transformation.
