PETER HOWSON O.B.E. (SCOTTISH 1958-) CHECK POINT Signed lower left, pastel on buff paper 28cm x 22cm (11in x 8.75in) Peter Howson’s strong, figurative style is inspired by epic history painting, but his depictions of a violent, working-class, predominantly masculine Glasgow subvert the traditional tenets of this genre. His experience in the military and as a bouncer in the dive bars of Glasgow’s city centre allows Howson to lift figures from memory and translate them into exaggerated and overgrown character archetypes, through whom he examines the most toxic aspects of masculinity in order to reveal its ugly, destructive truth. Though the acerbic, grotesque social commentary of Weimar Republic artists like George Grosz and Otto Dix are clear reference points, Howson’s work is in fact brimming with pathos. He allows his characters a tragic heroism, and his message is clear that they are just as much the victims of the violent systems they embody.

While their artistic output was not homogenous they all shared an interest in figurative painting during the early 1980s which broke away from the conceptual and minimal trends in Modern art at the turn of the twentieth century. After graduating from Glasgow School of Art in 1982 Campbell won a Fulbright Scholarship to study at the Pratt Institute in the United States. Campbell worked from a studio in Brooklyn until 1986 and this period was key in establishing his status as an internationally renowned artist whilst raising awareness of Scottish contemporary art on a global scale.
