Callen Schaub Abstract Painter Interview

Produced and directed by Roadtrip Media @roadtripmedia

Callen Schaub is an abstract artist most recognized
for his unconventional techniques, live performances,
and frank openness about his process and life as an
artist. Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Schaub
has been performing live trapeze, spin and pendulum
paintings for nearly a decade.
In his early childhood, Schaub was diagnosed with
dyslexia, a learning difficulty that affects the skills
involved in reading and spelling. Challenged by this
communications barrier, Schaub began painting and
drawing as a medium for self-expression, exploring
art as a more universal method of communication.
After earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Drawing
& Painting from OCAD University in 2012, Schaub
co-founded Project Gallery, a gallery and studio
space that hosts live performances and exhibitions
for emerging contemporary artists. Project Gallery
was voted “Best Independant Gallery in Toronto”
in 2015 by NOW Magazine in their annual Reader’s
Choice awards.
In 2016, Schaub relinquished his managerial role
at Project Gallery in order to launch his full-time
art studio, where he began to debut larger-scale
production and video integration, and expand the
performative aspects of his art. By focusing on the
raw emotion and visceral nature of his medium,

Schaub challenges traditional art-to-canvas painting
and seeks to redefine how people appreciate and
interpret ‘art’.
Schaub has performed more than 120 live shows
across Canada and over 10 solo exhibitions, charming
audiences across North America with ‘The Arena’
— his portable studio comprised of self-made spin
machines, pendulums and trapezes. Schaub’s
unconventionally open approach to art-making
echoes his belief that “artwork is a process, not a
secret” and encourages spectators to participate
in the experience of motion, colour, energy, and
anticipation.
In recent years, Schaub has developed a substantial
social media presence, with millions of views, shares
and comments, as well as hundreds of high-profile
commissions from all over the world. He has gained
considerable national and international recognition
working with a number of prominent brands and
events, including Bombay Sapphire, Callaway Golf,
Grolsch, TIFF, YSL, PanAm Games, and many others.
His first U.S. solo exhibition, Unfazed, was hosted by
Joseph Gross Gallery of Los Angeles in August 2018,
and he plans to continue growing his international
influence by kicking-off a global tour in 2020 with
live performances across the United States.
