Calum McClure | Laguna
Calum McClure presents a new series of paintings and monotypes inspired by Venice and its lagoon, Laguna. Developed over four years of repeated journeys by train from northern Italy, the works reflect the shifting atmosphere of the city across seasons and states of mind. Water, reflection and movement recur throughout, rendered through McClure’s instinctive, abstract language.
Enjoy this gentle short film where Calum shares some of his Venetian painting spots and moments.
