The Art Bystander

For Liste 2026, Chris Andrews is pleased to present a suite of new oil paintings on plastic and paper by Calla McInnes.

Calla McInnes’ diluted figuration often revolves around a single representational feature – a profile of a chin, a torso, a pair of glasses, depicting subjects turned from the viewer’s gaze. Intentionally cropped or retracted, McInnes’ fragmented language is more reminiscent of a glimpse in peripheral vision than incisive representation, existing in the space between rendering and erasure. These meditations on perception are at the heart of the paintings, where fore- and background often commingle on the surface, the scene and the system of perspective itself rendered fluid.

Calla McInnes (b. 1998) is an artist living and working in Montréal. They hold a BFA from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art (2020), and are currently an MFA candidate at Bard College, Annadale-on-Hudson, New York. Recent exhibitions include Chris Andrews, Montréal (2023, 2026), Shower, Seoul (2024), and Gated, New York (2022).
