As with many painters, his explorations in this medium form a parallel body of work, an activity taken on as a kind of &lsquo;break&rsquo; from his other painting, with different circumstances, conditions and intentions.\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>Innes has been making watercolours for more than 25 years. He began to explore the medium when he was asked to do a show at the Kunsthaus, in Zurich. He says: &#8220;I blithely said yes to an exhibition without ever having made a watercolour before. It caused a lot of stress at the time, but I gradually developed a way of working with paper and pigment. I am still making watercolours, although they have changed over the years, and now I realise that they inform the oil paintings more and more. When you place two pigments together, either opposite or complementary, and then dissolve them in water you achieve a completely new colour which only reveals itself on the paper. I am often surprised and disappointed in the same hour.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;It has been a couple of years since I last spent time with watercolours. When lockdown occurred, in March 2020, I was setting up a new studio, overlooking a fjord in Oslo. It was unfamiliar, and I had no reference to earlier works as I do in Edinburgh. I started to work on a new watercolour series, focusing on them for a week at a time, always starting the day with a black and white one, just to get my hand in &hellip; the black and white ones are the most elusive. \n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;This new body of 50 watercolours feels stronger and more luminous than previous ones. I have kept them sequential in the book, to show how each work informs the next and so on.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Callum Innes (b. 1962) is one of the most significant abstract painters of his generation, and one of the few artists to include watercolour as a major part of his practice. a pure land documents a new series of 50 watercolours, completed during lockdown, in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":20198,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5568],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-20197","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-art","7":"author-by-author-callum-innes","8":"author-by-author-thomas-a-clarke","9":"publisher-circa-press","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Callum Innes \u2013 a pure land - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: Callum Innes \u2013 a pure land, Pages: 120 Pages, Publish Date: 8th Mar 2021, Author: Callum Innes, Thomas A Clarke, ISBN: 9781911422150.
