Scottish artist A A Watson creates darkly humorous works that blend classical imagery with contemporary text and techniques. After turning down a place at Glasgow School of Art, he pursued a corporate career before returning to art in 2019. His distinctive pieces—often overlaid with gold leaf phrases—combine digital collage, vintage visuals, and pop culture influences to explore modern identity with wit and honesty. Now based in London, Watson exhibits widely across the UK and his artwork resonates globally for its bold style and relatable, subversive edge.
