I’m so happy with this addition to my Callum Innes collection, which now consists of exactly one work. 😉
“KYC” (2018) is a lithograph Callum Innes made exclusively for Kettle’s Yard Cambridge (@kettlesyard) in an edition of 20 prints at Edinburgh Printmakers (@edinburghprintmakers).
I am a big fan of Innes, in particular of his Exposed Paintings and Exposed Watercolors-series. The beautiful proces in which Innes applies layers and layers of color, partly removing them from the canvas later, results in magnificent geometric shapes in rich, deep colors.

To recreate this process in a 3 color lithograph, not the easiest, quickest or most forgiving printing-method to begin with, is absolutely awesome.
A unique work on paper (or canvas!) is still on my wishlist, but recently realized auction-prices indicate I have a bit more saving up to do. Meanwhile, I’m chuffed with this gorgeous edition.
But to be honest, I think it needs a companion on the left or right. What do you think, should I get another one in a different color?
Framing was done by @catchframing, exactly like I wanted: floating in a deep white wooden frame with low-reflection museum glass.
