(b. 1991, Bradford, UK) is an artist inquiring into the relationship between the inner and outer world. Multi-layered paintings on natural linen are developed over time, often across different locations, piecing together fragments of personal memory into tactile, surreal compositions.
Visually informed by meditative practice, Cal's process works intuitively with mark-making and colour to compose scenes within a re-imagined mindscape. Sharing both intimate and inanimate subject matter, the works play with the polarising tensions that shape contemporary human experience.
After receiving his BA (hons) in Design for Film from Nottingham Trent University in 2013, Cal has held solo painting exhibitions in the UK and has been commissioned for public art projects internationally. Between 2022 and 2026 he worked nomadically in South Asia on self-directed residencies, and is now in Mallorca, Spain.
