Raymond
Campbell
British still life artist
(b.1956) Surrey, England
Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy (1993)
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 tableaux
can be identified by their 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 becoming
professional he travelled 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 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 edition 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 be found 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
