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.
Awarded first prize in the 2019 RBSA Portrait Prize exhibition and a finalist in the
prestigious 2018 Columbia Threadneedle Prize, Alex has 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 a
number of art publications and can be found in collections around the world.
