Alex Callaway is an award-winning fine artist known for his observational still life paintings. Through refining the process of painting from life he aims to create a little magic from the mundane, inviting the viewer to slow down and contemplate the wonders of the ordinary.

Callaway writes, ‘through still life we can contemplate the essence of things, which in turn influences our awareness of the world around us.’ His paintings give the genre of still life painting a contemporary vibrancy, as well as referencing realist Surrealist painting. He is influenced by the work of William Blake, stating that ‘if I can uncover just a very small sense of William Blake’s “world in a grain of sand” then I will have happily fulfilled my role as an artist.’

A finalist in the 2018 Columbia Threadneedle Prize, Callaway also received an Arcadia Contemporary Award from the 12th International ARC Salon and an Alfred Daniels Award from The Royal Society of British Artists 300th Exhibition. His work has appeared in several art publications and can be found in collections around the world.
