Former member of Glasgow League of Artists, 1974\/5 and the Glasgow Group, 1988\/91. A recipient of the William Bowie Award, Paisley Art Institute, 2003; Maude Gemmill Hutcheson Prize, Royal Scottish Academy, 2010. Tweedie was an invited artist with the Royal Scottish Academy, 2010 Annual Exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018At first sight, James Tweedie\u2019s paintings appear to be quite conventional \u2013 tall, familiar type trees in a woodland carpeted with dense undergrowth and bushes. But suddenly we realise that they are something quite different. We discover that we are being taken on an unfamiliar journey: the path ends and we are left to find our own way home. We begin to realise that the whole landscape and setting are simply another aspect of the artist\u2019s fertile imagination.\u2019 Cyril Gerber. The artist writes: \u2018The paintings are about my experience of places that I know, altered during the making in an attempt to express the mystery of our relationship to the world. Moments of epiphany, a quietness and hopefully, a visual poetry that cannot be explained in words.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1972 James Tweedie had his first public exhibition at Compass Gallery, followed by several solo shows in 1993, 2003, 2006.
