CHARLES JAMIESON EXHIBITION

Charles Jamieson MFA, PAI, PPAI

Charles Jamieson (b.1952) is a Scottish artist known for his distinctive and intelligent use of colour, coupled with light and shade.

Jamieson studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1969-74, followed by further studies at the Texas Christian University at Fort Worth, Texas where he gained his MFA (Master of Fine Arts).

He is recipient of numerous art awards such as the William Bowie Award in 1999, and the Richmond Hill Gallery Award in 2004 and 2007. He was nominated by The Herald as ‘one of 50 Scottish Artists to invest in’, as well as being a past Chairman of the Aspect Prize and also a past President of the Paisley Art Institute.

Jamieson’s paintings are diverse in subject matter and he is equally comfortable painting still life, landscape, marine, or architectural subjects. He travels widely, capturing the essence of his locations in his pared back landscapes. His work is increasingly sought after with his paintings being held in collections across the globe, including the Clydebank Museum, Ernst and Young, Prudential, Caledonian Breweries, and the private collections of Harry Enfield, John Le Carre, and the Kuwaiti Royal Family. In addition to Red Rag Gallery Jamieson has exhibited at a number of other art galleries throughout the UK.

“Exploring new places and drawing as I go has always been the greatest of pleasures. It has taken me to many countries and I’ve enjoyed each and every one.

Covid’s interruption of plans caused us all to stay at home for some time and so I delved into my source material from several journeys and enjoyed revisiting places like Maine and Hong Kong. Add recent trips to Portugal, Spain and the Hebrides and the end result is a mixture of works whose common theme can only be ‘Travel’.”
