Jim Lambie (born 1964 in Glasgow, Scotland) is a contemporary visual artist, and was shortlisted for the 2005 Turner Prize with an installation called Mental Oyster.

A graduate of the Glasgow School of Art, he lives and works in Glasgow, and also operates as a musician and DJ.[1] He once played in the popular Glaswegian band The Boy Hairdressers,[2] which went on to become Teenage Fanclub.[3]

Lambie specialises in colourful sculptural installations made from everyday modern materials including pop culture objects, such as posters and album covers, and household accessories.[1][4] The other trademark theme in his artistic practice is using brightly coloured vinyl tape arranged into patterns around the floor of the gallery space, tracing the shape of the room to reveal the idiosyncrasies of its architecture.[4]
