Alasdair Gray & John Byrne are inarguably two of the most significant figures in 20th century Scottish culture, their work continuing to inspire and stimulate artists practising today.
With the kind support of our clients, Lyon & Turnbull have gathered a showcase of works by Gray & Byrne from across eras and mediums, including early and never before exhibited pieces.
Though Gray and Byrne's artistic identities were completely unique and distinct, they shared much in common. Both were extraordinarily talented, with work spanning multiple disciplines. They are renowned and beloved as artists, playwrights and authors. Interestingly and importantly, they were both born and raised in the environs of the City of Glasgow and studied at the Glasgow School of Art. This geography was to become an intrinsic part of both of their artistic outputs.
They have both been to the fore of our consciousness this year, with John Byrne’s sad recent passing at the end of 2023, and with the worldwide cinematic release of the film adaptation of Alasdair Gray’s novel ‘Poor Things’.
We invite you to celebrate the work of these two fascinating and important artists with us from the 15 - 26 July in our Glasgow gallery. By appointment only.
