wall description:
Callum Innes lives and works in Edinburgh, Scotland, and focuses mostly on large-scale abstract paintings. His recent works are structured by exploiting the physical properties of oil paint and turpentine washes to create geometrically divided fields that also have a rich surface. His watercolors, such as the two on display here, work on a much smaller scale and show a sensitivity toward layered veils of color that is appropriate for this translucent media. While not companion pieces, these two works are part of a series he did exploring the divided rectangular format. The artist achieved his subtle use of color by using sponges to layer on the washes of watercolor.
