Old travel Blog photograph of the Campbell Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, Scotland. Steven Campbell was born in 1953 in the Burnside district of Rutherglen, attended the town's Academy and worked as an engineer at Clydebridge Steelworks before studying at Glasgow School of Art as a mature student, from 1978 to 1982. Initially he studied the then still new subject of performance art, but quickly gave this up for painting. At the end of his studies he was awarded the Bram Stoker gold medal, and gained a Fulbright Scholarship which he used to go to New York, America, to study at the Pratt Institute. This move resulted in many of his early exhibitions taking place in New York, including his first solo show, in 1983, at the Barbara Toll Gallery. Campbell returned to live in Glasgow in 1986. Campbell died of a ruptured appendix on 15 August 2007, aged 54. He was married and had three children.
