'Template Grey Metal' painting

$ On Inquiry

The Template series dates back to 2012 and Colin has created several versions since experimenting with the technique of pouring. The paint is poured onto fluorescent white, he mixed the colour specifically to the shade he wants and the preparation is essential to the final result, he controls the paint as it flows but it has a life of its own so he can never be sure of the shapes, the canvas is left flat until paint is totally dry and only when he place it upright on the wall can he see the final image, it is always exciting and each one is totally unique, it is impossible to replicate. These works contrast to his other series in that they are more organic in aspect and just use one colour on white, the simplicity of the technique and colour palette contrasts with the complexity of the shapes within the image..

Meet the Creator
Wescover creator since 2020
Colin McCallum was born in Glasgow, Scotland, educated in London. He has lived and worked in Barcelona, Spain since 2002. Recent works reference hotels, airports, malls and pools - the artificiality of man-made structures. From satellite dishes to pools, these elements of the modern landscape are connected in the mind of the viewer. Different techniques are used for specific images, the medium must relate to the subject. Rather than illustrate, he makes a visual equivalent of the emotions and ideas related to each. Although these paintings can be viewed as abstract they are strongly derived from reality. I have exhibited with the London based Bicha Gallery and shown extensively internationally. His works are collected in New York, Toronto, Singapore and Europe, both in private and corporate collections.
