Callum Innes: Studio visit

Happy accidents.

Inspired by Xochi Solis work. These are great! Layers of paint, print out of magazines, drawings, paper and all sorts of textures! This is a perfect example of how you can take a simple idea and just by the way you assemble it, you bring more complex conversations.

I stumbled upon this video from a great website called Printeresting. Although my current studio work does not involve the technicalities shown in this stop motion video, I'm still drawn to it and wish that one day I might be able to do the same thing! I admire those who have the patience, determination and precision to carry out creating books. I don't think enough people know just how much of a craft it is!

MoMA Colour Chart: Reinventing Colour

MoMA Colour Chart: Reinventing Colour is a great interactive website that allows you to investigate how Colour has been received throughout time periods, mediums and artirts. Definitely worth checking out!  I'm starting to think that blocks of colour in a grid form are so appealing to my eyes. For example, Mike Kelley's Missing Time Colour Exercise #3 1998  Where he had front covers of comic magazines and a painted panel all in a grid formation.

And Byron Kim's Synedoche 1991-present Where you see multiple tonal variations that are from one or two main colours. Made from Oil and Wax which creates a wonderful gloss.





Gerhard Richter's 256 Colors 1974 and Ten Large Color Panels 1966-1971/72
demonstrates how complex colour charts can be!
