Calum Colvin OBE RSA FRSE is a Scottish artist whose work combines photography, painting, and installation, and often deals with issues of Scottish identity and culture and with the history of art.

‘Sacred and Profane’ is an exhibition of eight large-scale photographic artworks commissioned by the National Galleries of Scotland. The works are investigations of well known paintings in their collection by Masters such as Titian, Rubens and Canova, and use techniques from painting, sculpture and photography to create complex compositions which question and comment on the status and narrative of the original artworks.
