Callen Schaub: Redefining the Edge of Modern Art

Written by the Team at Cerbelli Collective

At Cerbelli Collective, we align with artists who challenge convention and transform the way we see the world. Among them, Callen Schaub stands out—not only for his bold visual style, but for the way he’s reframing what modern art can be.

A New Kind of Artist

Montreal-based and globally recognized, Callen Schaub has built his career on movement—both physical and cultural. His work exists at the intersection of performance and painting, using unconventional tools like swinging pendulums, spinning turntables, and handmade rigs to apply paint to canvas.

The result? Abstract compositions that feel alive—bursts of color and texture that carry the energy of their own creation. But Schaub is more than a visual artist. He’s a showman, a disruptor, and a voice for making art accessible to all.

The Fake Art Movement

Through his open creative process—often broadcast live to hundreds of thousands of followers—Schaub has cultivated a worldwide audience drawn to his authenticity and experimentation. He’s also the figure behind the Fake Art movement: a satirical but deeply intentional commentary on the elitism that often dominates the art world.

For Schaub, fake doesn’t mean lesser. It means free—free from the rules, free from judgment, and free to exist purely as an expression of self. This perspective has helped redefine how art is made, shared, and valued in the digital age.

A Resident at TwoFortyThirty

In 2021, Schaub was invited to become the first-ever Resident Artist at TwoFortyThirty, Cerbelli Collective’s global headquarters in New York City. The venue and gallery was conceived as a creative nucleus—one where art, performance, and experience meet. Schaub’s residency set the tone for what TwoFortyThirty would become: a space committed to showcasing boundary-pushing artists in dynamic and immersive ways.

Today, his work remains on display in the venue and is available for sale—offering collectors and art lovers a rare opportunity to take home a piece of the movement.

A Cerbelli Collective Brand

Callen Schaub is proud to be part of the Cerbelli Collective brand family—a curated group of creators, innovators, and performers who represent the next wave of cultural influence. His fearless approach to art continues to inspire us and shape how we think about creativity across all our platforms.
