Artist Biography

Back to Art, Prints & Posters Collection
Campbell Laird

Born and raised in Hobart, Tasmania, a southern state of Australia, Campbell Laird played with a successful rock band before making a career in art. Extensive touring through Europe, US and Australia led to extreme exhaustion and distaste for stale hotel rooms. Laird retired from the high life and settled in New York City where he lived for more than twenty years creating award winning imagery for editorial, corporate and advertising clients throughout the world. In 2005, he moved to Venice, California for the air, the light, the sea and a beautiful new studio.

"I am inspired by organic elements and shapes, such as the Tasmanian bush, a tree branch, waves trailing from a boat or a mass of rocks.” Laird takes responsibility for preserving these natural elements that inspire his artwork. He works with environmentally friendly water based archival pigments that do not pollute the environment.

"My work explores the structural relationships between line, shape, texture and color. A blank sheet of paper is always the genesis, with each new element suggesting the next; in this way, an image is slowly developed over time into something complete and unique. My ultimate aim is to create deceptively simple, meditative works that fit naturally into modern environments.”
