Description
For over thirty years, celebrated painter Callum Innes (b. 1962, Scotland) created his lushly painted and subtly nuanced abstractions in a rectilinear format. In 2022, he added a striking new element to his repertoire: the Tondo. To do so required mastering an entirely new set of technical and aesthetic challenges, confronting a form with abundant, historical resonances. This striking volume, richly illustrated with carefully selected images of Innes's Tondos, and installation views of key exhibitions, explores how Innes has challenged traditional perceptions of shape and form to create dynamic and immersive visual experiences. A pivotal essay by art historian Éric de Chassey traces Innes's encounters with this form and its progenitors in the history of art, firmly cementing Innes's breakthrough in the pantheon of significant works rendered in this distinctive formation.
