One out and in - Limited Edition of 3 Artwork

My work is the study of light. I use photography, screen printing, solar plates or oil paints on treated metals. I use natural light as my main exposure source for transparencies and my work makes reference to the origin and technological use of semi-precious metals through history, exploring pop culture, expressionism and our place in the landscape. I love using industrial and randomised techniques but also using traditional methods and materials. This series of prints and paintings are about the materials Calum has used across his working life. When he studied printmaking at Falmouth, he used copper plates to make intaglio prints. The prints focused around the landscape, the coast and the sea. Three themes that continue to influence his artistic career. A strong inspiration is derived from the world of electronics, this fascination began with his father’s engineering background and business. Copper (Atomic Number 29) is an excellent electrical conductor whose name is derived from the Roman 'ore from Cyprus', aes cyprium, later modified to 'cuprum' from which we derive 'copper'. The Egyptians used The Ankhe symbol (a cross with looped top) to signify copper, which also represents eternal life. Biography I studied Fine Art at Falmouth School of Art, specialising in printmaking with photopolymers. I started his own print and design company in 1997 with the assistance of PSYBT and HIE, projects have ranged from promotional printing to package design. I have been lucky to have exhibited nationally and my work is in private collections, I have also taught etching and screen printing workshops. Please note that I live on a remote Scottish island and shipping will most likely take 1-2 weeks, or longer.
