Aquatints and lavis

LB by Callum Innes, a limited edition print from 2022, uses mixed media techniques such as aquatints and lavis. The artwork, measuring 75 x 63 cm, presents an abstract composition divided into two primary sections. The left side is a solid black rectangle, while the right displays textured grayscale brushstrokes, creating a dynamic, almost woodgrain-like effect. The interplay between the deep black and the textured patterns in shades of gray emphasizes a contrast between stillness and movement. Innes’s minimalist approach focuses on the tension and harmony within the composition, inviting contemplation on the subtleties of form and texture.

Callum Innes (Scotland, 1962) is a Scottish abstract painter renowned for his distinctive technique of applying and removing paint to create luminous, minimalist compositions. His 'Exposed Paintings' series exemplifies this method, where he layers pigments and then uses turpentine to wash away sections, revealing subtle variations in color and texture. Innes's work explores themes of presence and absence, engaging viewers in a contemplative experience.

Mixed Media

Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

I am interested in the point where something comes into being and starts to disappear.
- Callum Innes

Callum Innes, a Scottish abstract painter, uses tone fields inside symmetrical grids or equal divisions of his paintings to create monochromic painting. Innes draws his inspiration from Barnett Newman’s work. He is distinguished by his brush technique, keenness to colour gradients and appearance.
Innes is associated with Minimalism, an art style developed after World War II. The trend is often seen as a response to abstract expressionism and modernism. He has given national and international presentations. Callum Innes' art is always meditative, the result of a laborious process of removing and applying paint. Innes' paintings are both technically and sensually appealing.
Innes attended Gray's School of Arts, where he studied drawing and painting before graduating in 1984. He enrolled in post-graduate studies at Edinburgh College in 1985. Innes received the Jerwood Painting Prize in 2002 after being shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 1995. The Edinburgh Arts Festival commissioned him in 2012 to transform the capital's Regent Bridge, which he irradiated with an alternating series of coloured light. Other notable Abstract Art figures include Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, and Kazimir Malevich. Their countless paintings have remained iconic in history.

What is abstract art?

Abstract art uses form, shape, line, and color to create a visual experience without attempting to represent external reality. The composition exists independently of the world's visual references, focusing on expressing ideas and emotions through non-representational means.
