Callum Innes was born in Edinburgh and studied at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen and Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) during the 1980s. Following an artist's residency in Amsterdam in the late 1980s, Innes began to produce increasingly abstract work, using a process of removal which could be described as 'de-painting'. Instead of building up his paintings through successive layers of brushwork, he prepares the canvas with a solid base of colour and makes marks by removing areas of the paint with turpentine. His first major paintings using this method were the Identified Forms series produced in the 1990s. Since then, Innes has continued experimenting with the varied tonal effects of painting and 'de-painting', often creating simple geometric forms in black, white and shades of grey.
XI is similar in style to the geometric paintings, but uses a combination of painting, photographic and etching techniques to create the final image. It follows on from his first suite of etchings, I-X which he created in 2004 and 2005, in collaboration with master printmaker Alfons Bytautus of Edinburgh Printmakers.
