CALLUM INNES NEW PAINTINGS AND WATERCOLOURS 13 May - 1 July 2011 Frith Street Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works on canvas and watercolours by Callum Innes. Over the past 20 years Innes has developed one of the most notable practices in contemporary painting. His spare yet complex works test and explore the possibilities of this most testing of mediums. Innes tends to work alternately on a number of disparate series, each of which he repeatedly revisits. In his Exposed Paintings a single colour, mixed by the artist, is brushed on to the canvas. Turpentine is then repeatedly applied by brush to remove the paint before it begins to dry. Innes washes away or as he has described it "unpaints" the canvas, leaving all but the faintest vestigial traces of colour. The result reveals varied veils of pigment buried within the seemingly monochromatic block. The play between the additive and subtractive process, the making and unmaking, underlies his sophisticated body of work. Water Colour a collaborative project between Callum Innes and the writer C�lmT�ib�n will be presented in the Art Unlimited section of this year's Art Basel 15 - 19 June. *** Callum Innes was born in Edinburgh in 1962. He was short-listed for the Turner Prize in 1995 and was a prizewinner in the 1997 John Moores Liverpool Exhibition and the winner of the 1998 Nat West Prize. Notable solo exhibitions include Modern Art Oxford (2007), Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh (2006) and Tate St Ives (2005). A solo exhibition at Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art will open at the end of this year. Innes's work is held in many important collections worldwide including Tate Gallery, London, Guggenheim Museum, New York, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh and Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin among others. 'From Memory' - the most comprehensive monograph on Innes's work to date - has been recently published by Hatje Cantz. For further information or images please contact: [email protected] |
