# Howto Use Colour & Manipulate People

Almost a year after his [collaboration show with **Stormie Mills**](/remirough-feat-stormie-mills/), famous abstract graffiti artist **Remi Rough** is back at Unit44 gallery in Newcastle and just shared some photos of his latest artworks for that recent solo-exhibition! Entitled *How to use colour to manipulate people* the show presents sculptural work and paintings, that are a big departure from his earlier graffiti paintings...

*The sculptural work is reminiscent of Serra, his lines and forced shapes brought to life as 3D objects in both wood and clay. ascending to a third dimension seems almost obvious with Remi’s work. Whilst Remi’s new paintings are more referential to his earlier work from 5 years ago, using bitumen and matt emulsion and still maintaining a tight narrative of tension which is a constant in his work. These are abstract works, yet they are firmly rooted in reality.* ([Unit 44](http://www.unit-44.com/))

I for one really like Remi Rough’s new abstract 3D and sculptural works, which is mainly because of they really work out and are able to transport a somehow elevated feeling. And the painted skull is just killing it!
