Caleb Speller
Caleb Speller was born in Victoria, British Columbia at the end of 1982. He lives with his wife in a small house with a big deck; the kind built for rocking chairs and beat up guitars. In the mornings woodpeckers screech from the trees, snakes slither in the grass and the sun glows though the bedroom window. It is here in this setting where he wakes up to draws and collage before heading out to take some photographs, walk down to the shed to paint, or bike out to his ceramic studio. His artwork explores themes such as Canadian nationality, photographic performance, fabricated family history, and the human relationship man has with eternity. Caleb views his artwork as a visual biography made from inspiration in his personal life, legendary stories told by friends and family and fictitious visions of what the future could unfold.
Caleb shows his work at various art galleries and alternative venues around Victoria, Vancouver, and Ottawa.
