Charles Jamieson studied at the 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). Charles is a Scottish Artist known for his distinctive and intelligent use of colour, coupled with light and shade. He has played an active part in arts administration, co-founding the Aspect Painting Prize in 2003, and is a past president of Paisley Art Institute.
His paintings are very distinctive, intelligent compositions with a particularly crisp use of colour, light and shade. Charles travels widely, capturing the essence of his locations in his pared back landscapes, usually sunny and often taking an unexpected theme. Diverse in subject matter, Charles is also a fine painter of Still Life and Architectural subjects.
