Note: A mostly self-taught artist, James Tweedie depicts the real world with a stroke of the surreal, to fill each painting with a sense of mystery, like that of a dream. He began his art career in 1972 and since then his work has been exhibited widely across the UK and Europe. His work can be found in many collections across the UK and North America. While born in Manchester, Tweedie moved when he was young to Glasgow, where he currently lives and works. He exhibits regularly in London, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. Tweedie has received a number of awards, including the Maude Gemmell Hutchison Prize and Scottish Arts Club Award from the Royal Scottish Academy, as well as the William Bowie Award from the Paisley Art Institute. He was elected as a member of the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts (RGI) in 2016.
