Trackie McLeod is a Scottish artist based in Glasgow. Trackie uses sculpture, textiles, video and print to explore his lived experience. He is interested in ideas of masculinity and queerness and their intersection with class, politics and popular culture. His visual language is innately Scottish, describing it as “one part tongue-in-cheek, an ounce of sarcasm and a pint of Tennent’s lager.
Taking inspiration from the streets, parks and community spaces of the West of Scotland, McLeod’s work transforms the visual language of 90s and 00s popular culture. Sportswear and branded accessories, music references, print and found objects are reassembled through a playful and critical lens, conjuring scenes that capture the grit, humour and unguarded energy of youth. His approach combines accessibility with precision, creating works that speak both to those who recognise their source material and to new audiences encountering it for the first time.
