Peter Howson was born in London in 1958. He studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1975–1977, returning in 1979 to complete a Master's.

Peter Howson has established a formidable reputation as one of his generation's leading figurative painters. Many of his paintings derive inspiration from the streets of Glasgow, where he was brought up. He is renowned for his penetrating insight into the human condition, and his heroic portrayals of the mighty and meek. His art is described by Robert Heller as 'founded in humanity, especially the human face'.
