Simon Callery - Contact Drawing Bodfari A
Technique: Tempera paint and pencil on paper
Artist Biography: Simon Callery (UK, 1960) is an artist whose works emphasize materiality and are often made in direct contact with the environment, taking advantage of the surfaces that make up the landscape. The artist has collaborated with the School of Archaeology at Oxford University for many years using the setting of archaeological excavations as part of his creative process. In these paintings the canvases are marked, cut, perforated, soaked in highly saturated tempera paint and stitched, so that they reveal all kinds of holes and cavities. The works that make up this exhibition are the result of work carried out by the artist at two Iron Age archaeological sites, Moel and Gael, Bodfari in North Wales, and Nesscliffe Hill in Shropshire, England. Callery says he works "to bring painting back to what it was and, as a result, gain a better awareness of ourselves." Simon Callery (London, 1960). Lives and works between London and Turin. Graduated from Cardiff College of Art in 1983. Public collections: Arts Council Collection, London. Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Oslo. Birmingham Museum Trust. British Museum, London. European Investment Bank, Luxembourg. Centre national des arts plastiques, Paris. Nottingham Trent University. Stanhope plc. Tate, London.
