CHARLES ANDERSON was born in
1936. He studied Drawing & Painting at Glasgow School of Art
under David Donaldson and Mary Armour, graduating with Diploma in 1959.
The following year he entered the Royal Scottish Academy painting
competition for Post Graduate students and won the Chalmers Bursary.
Joan Eardley (one of the adjudicators) took an interest in his work and
encouraged him to exhibit at the R.S.A. the same year.
Following a period of 5 years teaching Art, Charles worked as a
professional mural painter and sculptor for the next 30 years on major
Art and Design projects throughout the United Kingdom, carrying out
commissions for a wide variety of clients including local authorities,
property developers, banks and major insurance companies. His most
prestigious commission to date was the result of winning a national
sculpture competition to provide a bronze figurative group entitled
“The community” for Livingston New Town in 1996.
Since early 1997 he has returned to the painting of easel pictures and
has exhibited at the Royal Glasgow Institute, the Royal Scottish Society
of Painters in Watercolours, The Royal Scottish Academy, and several
exhibitions in London. Charles has works in various private collections
throughout the U.K. and abroad.
Charles was elected R.S.W. in November 2004. He served as President of
the Glasgow Art Club for three years until February 2009.
