Fri 4 - Sun 6 Oct 2019
Ludwig's 48th Spring Rose Festival
the exhibition
In the beginning, there was Light ( and then roses, and then paint...)
We shine the light on COLOUR
by nature & man.
We celebrate the spectrum of the human visual experience during a sensuous weekend at the
LUDWIG’S LANGUAGE of COLOUR.
We are delighted to turn Ludwig’s Rose Farm, north of Pretoria, into a labyrinth of colour & curiosities.
Over the weekend, Friday 4 - Sunday 6 October 2019, we exhibit 200 different color zones, MIDAS paints perfectly matched or mixed with roses - in a super modern, bold, display - showcasing the in-depth human relationship to colour.
