Orgin:

Field Notes:

Paint is applied and then removed so that drips edges and residue map process as architecture

Defining Moment:

The unpainted wash works where turpentine erasure draws vertical channels turning a monochrome block into a layered curtain of time

(

1962–

)

cal-um inn-iss

Innes built a world where removal becomes structure — paint applied then dissolved, revealing calm chromatic intervals.

His surfaces hold tension between presence and disappearance.

Structural Focus

Process as Form

The method of making defines the structure. Repetition, accumulation, or procedure becomes the visible logic of the work.

In Callum Innes’s work, this approach appears where removal and repetition allow clarity to emerge through erasure.

Chromatic Fields

Color fields operate as spatial and structural organizers.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Atmosphere

Atmosphere accumulates through calibrated light, tone, and spatial pacing.

Material

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Art

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Post-War Abstraction

Abstraction responds to rupture through scale, gesture, and structure.

Process Painting

Painting records action, time, and material behavior.
