Callum Eaton
Overview
Courtesy of the artist
Callum Eaton lives and works in London, UK. Foregrounding absent markers of late capitalism, Eaton’s paintings centre on ubiquitous high-street objects, that are fast becoming obsolete in face of new technologies. Painted in crisp photorealism, Eaton’s practice speaks to a fascination with urban visual landscapes and a problematising of 21st century society commercialisation. True to scale, Eatons trompe l’oeil renderings appear as nostalgic relics, a form of social archaeology that laments a diminishing social and technological era. Superseded by an age of online shopping, smartphones and ghost kitchens, the use of phone boxes now conjures associations of nocturnal vice, a home for momentary furtive or illicit causes.
