Born in 1947 in Glasgow, George Somerville grew up during an age of industry and his art style was strongly influenced by nostalgia of the time, his father being a foundry worker, introduced him to a range of characters that became additional subjects of Somerville's later works as well as becoming the main subject matter in some of his latest works. After progressing through life, Somerville had accumulated absolutely no training in art whatsoever, but reminiscing on his childhood in the industrial fifties he began to paint and brought the era back to life with his distinctive style. Today, Somerville's works are highly popular and he operates from a studio in a small fishing village on the East Coast of Scotland, his works have since been reproduced as Limited Edition Prints and distributed widely around the world. ~
