Aquatint and lavis.

Lamp Black Yellow Gold by Callum Innes is a 2024 limited edition print that utilizes etching and aquatint techniques. The artwork is divided vertically into two contrasting halves: the left side is a solid, deep black, while the right side is a vibrant, textured yellow. The yellow section is marked by gestural, sweeping strokes of red and orange, adding a dynamic energy that contrasts with the stillness of the black. Innes’ minimalist approach, focusing on color, texture, and form, invites the viewer to contemplate the balance and tension between the two opposing halves. The subtle interplay between light and shadow further enhances the depth and complexity of the piece.

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.

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 Colour Field Painting?

Colour Field Painting is an abstract style characterized by large areas of a single color or simple, solid colors. The term was first used in the 1950s to describe the work of three American Abstract Expressionist painters—Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still. Their work emphasized the emotional power of color and the creation of vast, meditative spaces through expansive color fields.
