Paula Barr work in “Seeing RED” for Art-Fluent.com

Barr’s photograph, “Chinese Gas Station,” has been selected to be part of Art-Fluent's online exhibit “Seeing RED.”

Behold the power of red. After black and white, red is the first color that humans perceive. It’s the color babies see before any other and the first that those suffering from a brain injury start seeing again. One of the boldest colors in the spectrum, red stands out in artwork and grabs our attention more than any other color can.

Red, the color of our blood, vitality, and life force, it vastly communicates love, lust, heat, anger, majesty, passion, and power. And all at the same time warning us of danger, fear, rage, and aggression. All those red flags.
