Chromophobia (Latin: chromos + phobia) is the fear or avoidance of colours. People with chromophobia may experience extreme discomfort, anxiety or even panic when they are exposed to, or their environment is filled with, colours.

In Lithuania, many sculptures are traditionally made of bronze, stone, stainless steel or wood. These materials allow the sculptures to remain unchanged for a long time, resistant to weathering and other external conditions. This phenomenon can be likened to an appreciation of art that favours form, materiality and a subtle way of expression. However, even in ancient Greece, many sculptures were painted or otherwise decorated. Different sculptors used different techniques and paints to emphasise or give meaning to their works.

Nevertheless, contemporary Lithuanian sculpture remains conservative and focuses more on materiality than on colour or other forms of decoration. More and more artists and urban designers are beginning to see colour as a powerful tool to enliven public space and encourage people to interact with art objects. Colours can have an emotional and psychological impact that can stimulate creativity, positive mood and community participation.

This exhibition encourages sculptors to experiment with colour and to make their works bright and eye-catching. The inclusion of colour can add a deeper dimension to sculptures, attract the eye of the viewer and create interesting visual effects. Colours can be used to emphasize a shape, create contrasts, or even draw the viewers' attention to a particular detail. This is an invitation to explore the possibilities of colour in sculpture and to encourage viewers to perceive sculpture as an expressive art form.
