Born in 1951, James Tweedie lives and works in Glasgow. He paints the urban landscape, the parkland and odd corners of the city, usually, though not always,Glasgow. A surrealist at heart he always looks for a sense of mystery, of possibility in the atmosphere of a place. This he attempts to convey by means of a ‘poetic’ image, which can be touching, threatening or humerous. His work is very popular both in Scotland and South of the Border.
