Painting by Callum Innes called “Intense White”, 2002, Oil on linen, Kirkcaldy Art Gallery. Innes' work usually focusses on a single colour, or a limited group of tones, which are applied to and removed from the canvas - 'painting and unpainting', as he describes it. When facing the painting, it appears to be a uniform square of intense white, however, when viewed, as in the image, from an angle on the right hand side, a smaller internal square is just visible on the left of the canvas. The wall on which it is hung is grey/green.
