Raymond Campbell
British Still Life Artist
B. 1956- Surrey, England
1993 - Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy
As a highly regarded British Still Life Artist, Raymond Campbell
is most recognised for his curious paraphernalia arrangements,
reminiscent of the 17th Century Dutch painters. These unique tableaus
can be identified by their highly detailed precision and classically
“Campbell-esque” contents including vintage wine bottles
and sepia photographs.
Initially turning down the chance of formal training at art school,
Campbell’s notable talent led him to become a full time
professional artist at the age of twenty two. Before turning professional
he travelled and studied throughout Europe aiming to study the
paintings and techniques of the Old Masters. It was the still
life paintings of the 17th Century Dutch painters that he became
captivated by and is reflected in his recently recognised body
of still life work.
Campbell is a published artist, with many of his original works
available as limited edition and open run prints. His works “Gamble”
and “Lost” are among pieces which have been exhibited
at The Summer Exhibition at The Royal Academy, London. He has
also exhibited at The Mall Galleries, London and his work can
befound in many international private collections, including The
USA, Australia and across Europe.
The Colomb Art Gallery is proud to exhibit a number of original
paintings by the British Still Life Artist Raymond
Campbell.
