Cal Mac (b.1997 Paisley, Scotland) is a Glaswegian artist based in London. Mac’s practice is rooted in film, performance, ceramics, and painting. His work revolves Scottish landscapes, home and belonging, which are extracted from memory and given to the viewer as gestures of care.  



His work has been screened at Recontres Internationales (Paris and Berlin), Atlas Arts (Skye), The Royal Scottish Academy (Edinburgh), Limerick Institute of Technology, and online for Lift off Festival and Film and Video Umbrella.

Following his first commission from Film and Video Umbrella in 2020, Mac has done residencies at Cove Park, Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop and the Margaret Tait residency in Orkney (2024). In 2022 he gave the Ben Read Memorial Lecture for the Royal Society of Sculptors in Leeds.



His solo exhibitions include ‘Drums and Silence’ Aye Festival, Glasgow (2022) and ‘Bloodbath’ Outlier, Glasgow (2023). In 2026 Mac will graduate from Sculpture (MFA) at the Slade School of Fine Art.
