Cal's next exhibition promises to be a cut above First published Thursday 4 April 2013 in Stourbridge News

A new town barbershop has become an unlikely exhibition space for Stourbridge based conceptual artist Cal.
The 35-year-old’s thought-provoking protest art can be seen at cult High Street salon Jimmy Trims for a month from Saturday (April 6).
Artist and keen skateboarder Cal, who moved from Worcester to Stourbridge for its arts and music scene, said: “It’s about doing something that’s not the norm.
“It’s also about supporting local businesses and trying to keep the ethos of Stourbridge alive - the music and the art; the reason I moved here. I don’t want to see that get forgotten.”
Inspired by personal experiences, political injustices, green issues, corporate globalisation, poverty, war and world economics - Cal, who aims to make “art out of anything”, held his first solo exhibition of paintings, skateboard art, photographic and embroidery projects at art space in Dudley in December.
Often used to working on large-scale installations, he said people can expect to see some of his smaller pieces of work on display this time - one of which is created out of a BMX bike frame.
