Charles Jamieson

In this striking painting, Jamieson captures the distinctive architecture of Collioure—its warm terracotta roofs, pale stone walls and iconic tower—set against the deep blues of sea and sky.

The simplified forms, strong tonal contrasts and saturated palette are hallmarks of Jamieson’s mature style. His ability to distil a scene into essential shapes and luminous colour gives the work a sense of clarity and calm, while still retaining the expressive energy of plein‑air observation. The result is a painting that feels both contemporary and timeless, transporting the viewer to the heat and stillness of the southern coast.

Collectors value Jamieson’s ability to blend Scottish sensibility with Mediterranean warmth, creating works that are uplifting, atmospheric and instantly recognisable. Collioure is an excellent example of his distinctive approach to Contemporary Scottish Painting, offering a vibrant and joyful interpretation of place.
