Scott Campbell trained at Glasgow School of Art and Central St Martins, beginning his printmaking career as a printer at Advanced Graphics London. He is currently Screenprinting Master Printer at Glasgow Print Studio.
Campbell works almost exclusively in the screenprinting medium to create abstract and colour field works. His pieces suggest landscape qualities, they stimulate the eye but have a serenity about them. In 2019 a solo exhibition of Campbell’s work was held at Glasgow Print Studio, looking retrospectively at his monoprints produced over a twenty year period.
He has said about his work: “My work evolves with no matrix, but with multi-layered surfaces blended to allow light and form to develop. The unpredictability of blending dictates how I approach each piece which I find a welcome challenge. A strong technical grounding should not constrain an artist but enhance his practice. Printmaking is full of complex processes which can make it more challenging to produce spontaneous prints, this is something I try to give licence to when making my work.”
