NOW AVAILABLE:
Callum Innes belongs to
a generation of British artists who continue to explore the possibilities
of paint on canvas. Uninhibited by, yet very aware of, the achievements of
the past and the rise of other media, Innes uses the language of the monochrome,
an established format of abstract painting since the 1960s. Innes' paintings
are created through a process of addition and subtraction, sometimes removing
sections of paint from the canvases surface with turpentine to leave only
the faintest traces of what was there before. Using this method of subtraction
he has established his own vocabulary in the form of distinctive groups of
paintings which evolve concurrently. Through their interdependency he hones
his visual fluency, exploring variations of the process of removal.
CALLUM INNES, VI - X, 2005
A suite of five etchings by Callum Innes, in collaboration with master printmaker Alfons Bytautus, co-published by
Frith Street Gallery and Ingleby Gallery, Edinburgh.
Callum Innes VI - X limited edition prints
A solo exhibition Callum Innes' work will be staged at the Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney in late 2007.
This show is accompanied by a comprehensive monographic publication published by Hatje Cantz. Innes has
had solo exhibitions at Tate St Ives, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, the Ikon Gallery, Birmingham and Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland. He was awarded the Jerwood Painting Prize
in 2002. His paintings are included in public collections worldwide, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, USA, Arts Council of England, British Council, London,
Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, USA, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, Ireland, Kunsthaus Zurich, Switzerland and Tate Britain, London.
