Stig Evans and Jonathan Gilhooly have collaborated previously, most notably on ‘Colour Conundrum’ (2010), a speculative reconstruction of a Victorian parlour game attributed to inventor, colour theorist, and polymath Charles Albert Keeley. The project brought together their shared interest in colour, perception, simulation, deception, and illusion.

First shown at the Whitechapel Gallery and later at Phoenix Art Space, Brighton, it was revisited in 2025 through their talk ‘Origins of a Parlour Game’ for the International Colour Association’s symposium on ‘Spatialities & Colour’. Ongoing conversations between the artists have since extended these concerns into painting, forming the basis of the present exhibition at Gallery Dodo.
