Indepth Arts News:
"Art Now"
1999-08-03 until 1999-10-15
Tate Gallery
London, ,
UK United Kingdom
The Art Now programme comprises at least four contemporary art exhibitions
each year. These exhibitions feature recent work by new and established artists,
from England and abroad. Art Now 19 (3 August-October) presents work by Simon Callery who was born
in London in 1960 and studied at Berkshire College of Art and Design and
Cardiff College of Art. During the early 1990s he produced a body of paintings
that suggested remembered fragments of the fabric and texture of the city. Always
pale and delicate in colour, these paintings seemed concerned with light,
atmosphere and weather. His more recent paintings still have a luminous quality,
but structured by vertical or horizontal lines they also have a sculptural presence.
Callery works close to the canvas, applying paint which he then scrapes away
with a scalpel. Pared down, his canvases have the look of weathered stone.
