Ian McCallum is an Australian artist whose practice slips between indoor and outdoor work. A collage-like aesthetic is a signature of the work including textural and typographical forms. His work possesses an anthropological study quality which stems from the reference material sourced through travel and photography. Signs, architecture, detritus, decay and repair catch the artists’ eye when searching for this material. McCallum's work comes together through an improvisational mode of working mixed with some visual sampling to complete the final composition which draws parallels with collage.
