Jamie Johnson is a Glasgow-based artist working across painting and mixed media. His practice develops a personal visual language through form, colour, and recurring motifs.

Using hand-dyed and painted papers, he builds layered surfaces that combine control with unpredictability. Collage and painting operate together, with fragments shifting between deliberate placement and chance encounter.

While the work sits within abstraction, it draws loosely from everyday experience. Observations, encounters, and passing moments filter into the compositions as partial forms or interruptions rather than direct representations. Hints of figures, structures, or gestures appear and dissolve, allowing humour, memory, and atmosphere to sit alongside more ambiguous elements.

Informed by sketches, photographs, and recordings made while moving through the city, the work remains connected to place without describing it directly. Meaning is not fixed, but accumulates through layering, inviting viewers to navigate the work through their own associations.
