Ephemeral Chroma brings together the works of Sophie Elsden, Desiree Skellern, Sophie Baskerville, and Roozbeh Rajaie, four artists whose practices foreground colour as both a deeply personal expression and a shared, affective force. Originating from Liverpool, a city with a cultural richness comparable to Glasgow, the artists studied Fine Art and Design at Liverpool Hope University, and now diverge across abstraction, landscape, and experimental approaches. What binds their practices together is a shared fascination with chroma as something unstable, relational, and profoundly human.
Sophie Elsden’s vibrant abstractions capture the energy of conversations and city life, functioning as self-portraits of feeling. Desiree Skellern transforms landscapes into meditative spaces that process cultural displacement, neurodivergence, and the pressures of the individualistic nature of contemporary life. Sophie Baskerville disrupts pictorial conventions through collage-like methods, exploring binaries and deviance through unruly colour. Roozbeh Rajaie draws upon religion and British Persian identity to explore memory and emotion through chroma’s material presence.
