| About the artist
Born: 1931
Influenced by his grandfather, James Gorman studied mural painting at Glasgow School of art and taught in Glasgow, but "slipped down the Clyde" to live in the village of Corriegills on the Isle of Arran, a frequent subject. He has travelled to China and was influenced by the mosques and mosaics of Central Asia and also painted in Paris. Nevertheless, his interest has always been with the human form and many of his major works are of a figurative nature.
He is a member of the G.I. Many one man shows and joint exhibitions, including the Scottish Past and Present exhibition where he was shown with some of Scotland's finest including Charles Rennie MacKintosh, Sir David Murray and Jack Knox.
