Calum McClure was born in 1987 and graduated in Drawing and Painting from Edinburgh College of Art in 2010. He is represented by both The Scottish Gallery and Candida Stevens Gallery, and was an invited artist at the annual Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy in London in 2012. He makes work regularly at Glasgow Print Studio and had solo exhibitions there in 2018 and 2025. He has also shown work with Flowers Gallery, London in their annual winter exhibition of small scale work. His work is held in public collections including Pallant House and many private collections both in Scotland and internationally. Calum is a painter who immerses himself in his surroundings, their various histories, and the artistic process of representing them. He understands how paint can convey the poetry of suggestion and is absorbed in the infinite possibilities of the medium. His work evokes atmospheres, some of his images are almost abstract, others quite clearly representational, produced through intense scrutiny of details in the landscape and vistas, views from particular vantage points all with their possibility for further imaginative exploration. He is an artist who dreams as he sees and concentrates deeply as he paints, enabling others who view his work to be transported in a similar way. The images are positive, beautiful and lyrical, those of a precious environment to be nurtured and celebrated.
