Born in 1964, Jim Lambie lives and works in Glasgow and New York. He studied Environmental Art at the Glasgow School of Art.

Jim Lambie references popular culture, in particular music, in his work, drawing on the materials of everyday life. Using such ephemeral sculptural materials as record covers, safety pins and glitter, Lambie creates fetishistic artefacts. His well-known multi-coloured floors expand the parameters that define space and form.
