James Campbell is a highly collected artist of watercolour landscapes in a style reminiscent of Nash or Ravilious. He lives near Tenby and is also a potter.
He was brought up in northern Scotland and western Wales, two landscapes of great power and beauty, which have proved to be an abiding concern in his work. Introduced in 1957 by Gordon Baldwin to ceramics and the making of art as a serious activity, he went on to study at the RCA. His drawing tutor was Richard Chopping. Between 1966 and 1996 James taught variously at Malvern Boys College, Cheltenham College of Art, Hereford College and Middlesex Polytechnic. He returned to Pembrokeshire in 1995, withdrawing from teaching to focus on his own work. He continues to draw inspiration from spirited places – observed, remembered and longed for. His drawings and ceramics have both been widely exhibited, and he has work in several public collections in Britain, Australia and Japan.
This picture only gives one example of the type of work James Campbell has produced.
