Craig Campbell - Golf Artist
by Roger Morton
Golfing art like art in general comprises oil paintings, watercolours, drawings
and prints. This sector of the golf memorabilia market remains strong as long
as it is an original, is well executed, is of a recognisable course or player
and it is clearly signed.
So if you are thinking of buying a piece of golfing
artwork why then buy a so-called limited edition print that has little or no
chance of going up in value? Why not buy an original oil painting instead? Particularly
if you can choose the subject or theme of interest and go directly to the artist
himself to produce the work.
Of the leading modern golf artists, one that, in my opinion, stands
head and shoulders above his contemporaries is Scotsman, Craig Campbell, golf
artist. His strict mantra is that the eye is the key to a successful portrait
but he is equally as skilled at landscapes. His attention to detail and mastery
of colour has won him many admirers from touring professionals to serious art
collectors from all over the world. Over recent years his original oil paintings
covering subject such as Samuel Ryder holding the Ryder Cup and of golfers past
and present including Tiger Woods and the doyen of St. Andrews, old Tom Morris,
have fetched high prices at auction. His attention to detail and extremely beautifully
produced life like artwork make him so "in demand".
