Painter, photographer and sculptor, born and lived in London, who studied at Berkshire College of Art and Design, 1979–80, and South Glamorgan Institute of Higher Education, 1980–3. He won Arts Council Young Artists Awards in 1983 and 1986, gained a Gold Medal at Welsh National Eisteddfod, 1986, and won a prize at John Moores Liverpool Exhibition, 1993–4. Solo exhibitions included Anderson O’Day, 1993, Christian Stein, Turin, 1995, Anthony Wilkinson Gallery, 1996, and Art Now 19, Tate Gallery, 1999, in which a group of large works developed the artist’s awareness of luminosity, line, rhythm and scale. As part of his interest in other disciplines, in 1997 Callery worked alongside archaeologists from The Institute of Archaeology, Oxford, during excavation of an Iron Age hill fort, which resulted in his photographic survey The Segsbury Project.
