Campbell (1953-2007) was a Scottish artist whose mature figurative works typically focused on the surreal ridiculousness of the English gentleman. He was a key figure in the renaissance in Scottish art in the 1980s, which saw Glasgow, where he settled, become one of the major international centers for contemporary art at the time.
