  • Toronto-based artist Callen Schaub invites us into his studio to see how he uses swinging troughs, paint can pendulums, and bicycle parts to create his signature abstract paintings.

    Callen Schaub's practice draws from a rich history of artists using spinning and dripping techniques - from Damien Hirst to Jackson Pollock. But Callen has invented his own homemade devices that include swinging troughs, paint can pendulums and bicycle parts that help him create his signature works. In this video, Callen takes you inside his paint-splattered studio for a look at how he makes his dazzling works of art.

      Logan I'm seeing you respond to a lot of people's comments bring this mans talent down and tbh it's okay if his style is not to your taste but honestly even myself as an artist whose finds it sometimes difficult to find the beauty in some abstract art can appreciate this mans pieces. The commenter isn't an "art slut" but simply a person with a perception of art that roots deeper than yours or even mine. This mans paintings may not tell profound tales of love and loss or anything like that but they most definitely are an extension of the man behind the canvas, they reflect his personality and his passion and I think maybe it's easy to forget that primarily that's what all forms of art are. And that's why it is beautiful.

And I also recently discovered a woman that has some sort of cognitive disfunction where she "sees" music as color which she then paints, really great stuff.

    I did art history at university and in my early 20's worked at a really prominent private gallery but left the field entirely after getting so disillusioned. To me art, especially abstract art in the present market lacked substance, it was always brand over something that was truly amazing in fact it's sadly true of most of the art world and I couldn't live with myself contributing to this empty bottom dollar vapidness, it was a real crisis of conscience. But I really appreciate this guy's process in building his own set ups, a rarerity, and wish him the best. Now I'm a civil engineer and love my job but every now and then take up a canvas and paint because it's an amazing feeling. It's funny how I never enjoyed art as a career but as a hobby I fallen back in love with it because it's on my own terms. Life certainly has expensive lessons!

      I'm an artist and I used to wonder why someone would become famous and revered by art critics for something a kindergarten kid could do. However, I learned another perspective: Interior decor. "Abstract Expressionism" can bring life to an otherwise dull room. An office or office bldg or even a home. Look at celebrity homes and they always have these types of paintings on the walls. And they do bring life to an area, though I do think that's all that they're good for.

    I honestly believe that it's more difficult to paint a realistic quality painting, but for as long as I remember, I almost never get inspired by looking at one of those. It's the abstract art that makes me feel emotions that can't be described with words. It's like feeling a memory that you just can't visualise, you can't tell it, you only feel it.

    I love how people keep arguing about what art is and isn't...we all grew up and experienced life differently. As a result, we all see art in different forms. Art to one person, may not be considered art to another. We all interpret things differently, there is no need to justify what is and isn't, especially with art. Art is in the eyes of the beholder. Saying, "this isn't art!!!!", is not going to change someones mind..

      That's because here we can really see the process and work that comes with creating such a piece. Most of the times we may brush off such paintings, not seeing the dedication put in by the artist in making it all come together. However when we watch how this guy creates each piece, we get a sense of amazement just by seeing the out come afterwards.

    Anyone can create or do something, and if they're passionate about it that just makes it more special. Anyone can be an artist there are no limits nor qualities needed when creating art to be one. That's why art is so great because it's expressing yourself in your own unique way through dance, drawings, paintings, literature, etc. Everyone has their own process too. Sure you can have your opinion and taste in art but you shouldn't make someone feel as if they're not an artist and that there are rules to art because there aren't.

      Noraj De Ton Sodomisage I think you misunderstood what he meant by art. You may think art must be precise and neat for it to be adequate pieces, which is totally fine. But to some the art it self may not even be what the final piece looks like, and instead may just be the pure joy of expression that comes with putting paint to canvas, that makes it art to them. Mediocrity and perfection is in the eye of the beholder.

      Noraj De Ton Sodomisage Then what do you define art as? Anything can be art especially when the viewers have a connection or feeling towards the piece of work. Look at Marcel Duchamp-- he turned a urinal upside down, signed it, and got praised for the meaning of his piece. Just because it's not a realistic painting doesn't mean it's not art... But believe what you want, i guess.

    People tend to disregard abstract art, maybe because they think art is just a duel of sheer skill and detailed portraits of reality, but it's much more than that, art explores the link the human has with it's own emotions, and this is a great example of feelings that cannot be conveyed in any other way.

    If art were solely a process of reproduction of a well-composed scene to the highest quality then the moment the camera was invented then pencils, paints, and traditional artistry should have been abandoned.

      haroldfrogspawn In a way it was. Once the first camera was introduced, it was a major blow towards art, causing abstract art to be created in the process. Look into it if your interested.

      That’s the whole point. Painting is a dead art. Filmography has effectively replaced it, both in cinemas and television.

      Moses King well absolutely not... thanks to photography and film, so now we can see the difference between a really good painting and a bad one. It’s not about a perfect reproduction. A painting must have an essence on itself. Moreover painting is timeless. Just go in museum and contemporary galeries lol. It never has been dead

      Fine art is still beautiful and different than photography. It’s cheaper to make live action films so by your assertion Pixar and other forms of animated media should be out of business. But it’s not, why? Because people still like realistic or idealized art because it’s an artistic interpretation of objects and living things.

      Paintings can still be more accurate than a picture since cameras suck at dynamic range, unlike your eyes.

    This is a technique that has been used by Mexican artists in markets and carnivals for over forty years. They often let people try it for a few coins. It was my favorite booth as a kid.

    • @alexw9544
      @alexw9544 7 лет назад

      This style of painting can be seen in almost every gallery you go into, and I've lived in Manhattan, Los Angeles, Sedona, and a few cities in Florida. The artist charges a few hundred to a few thousand dollars so it's interesting to hear about them being created in Mexican markets/carnivals for pocket change. The colors and designs surprise and dazzle the eye, but look at the flashes of Rembrandt and Van Gogh edited into this piece and see the same level of emotion cannot be put into a spin painting that takes 30 seconds to create vs. a painting that an artist works on and lives with for conceivably years. It also doesn't hurt public opinion that a young, good looking guy made this art.

    I am so excited to see you doing this, I too have been experimenting using different tool to create "spin art", I love what you're doing, I may have to try a couple of your idea's. Currently, I have a wheel that is used for turning clay to shape it, then a large round Masonite board on top of that, the only problem for me is, creating a barrier so I don't get paint all over my artist loft, lol.The art you are creating is wonderful, I love color, and have difficulty using browns, it's a funny thing, trying to figure out the best way to implement some earth tones into my work.

      Go to your local woolies produce department and ask if you could have two of their empty watermelon bins. If one is too small then you can hot glue two together to create a ring around your painting space.
