James Spence was an artist and teacher who became an established figure on the Scottish art scene when he co-founded the Glasgow Group (alongside James Morrison), an artists’ cooperative which promotes the work of artists who were born, live or trained in the city. It was founded in the 1950s as a response to the conservative outlook of local exhibitions and the lack of commercial galleries. He was the son of Highland fisherfolk from Findhorn who travelled south to Glasgow. Much of James Spence’s subject matter could be traced to his childhood experiences – an evening at an open-air boxing match in Glasgow, for example, the fighter silhouetted in brilliant light, a mass of crimson blood covering the face of one man. He was also inspired by the landscape of the north-west Highlands and by his travels abroad.
