Simon Laurie RSW RGI
Picture

SIMON LAURIE is a contemporary Scottish landscape and still life artist, whose  paintings are characterised by references to Scottish life and society, incorporating fish, boats, religious symbols and everyday items. These objects are arranged upon a rich textural ground created by the application of multiple layers of acrylic paint. He has worked with acrylic paint for almost 30 years, developing his own individual style and fundamental visual language.

Laurie was born in Glasgow and studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1982 to 1988. He was elected a member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours (RSW) in 1991 and the Royal Glasgow Institute (RGI) in 2000, where he served as convener for six years. He has had many solo shows, both in the UK and abroad, and has won many prestigious and major awards. His work is held in many public, private and corporate collections.

Paintings are available to purchase directly from the artist and can be shipped within the UK and internationally. If you would like to view works in person, a visit to his Glasgow based studio can be arranged. For more details please use the contact form HERE
