Artist Inspiration

Callen Schaub

Callen Schaub is an abstract contemporary artist who works with paint, natural forces and machines to create bold, thought-provoking and individual prints and patterns. Schraub often creates his work live at events and venues such as the Metro Toronto Convention Center or The Field Trip Music and Arts Festival at Fort York.
One of his machines is an old bicycle where he places the canvas on top, places the colours of paint onto the canvas and then spins the peddle so the canvas also spins, causing the paint to expand over the canvas. He also makes paint can pendulums that he swings over canvases to create individual lines and splatters of colourful paint. his bright colours and organic lines of paint give an energetic feel to his pieces and can be interpreted in different ways by different viewers.
