Went to see some modern art at a suitably titled gallery last Friday. The main exhibit is by a abstract artist called Callum Innes. I liked looking at his paintings, which he achieves by repeated painting and paint removal. The Exposed series especially are very striking when together, as one kind of evoles into the next.

I'd probably go and have another wander around in the next week or so, and then the artist himself is coming to discuss his work on March 8th. I'd like to know more about his paintings than just what they look like, but without reading some critic who uses the phrases like "representing isolation of the self".
