ABOUT

In commemoration of Billy Connolly’s 75th birthday BBC Scotland commissioned three portraits of the comedian by top Scottish artists. In conjunction with Glasgow City Council representations of these original works were then installed around the city centre. Two of these works have been depicted as murals by Rogue One. This particular installation is based on John Byrne’s “Billy Connolly”. All three portraits were showcased, across the country, in a special BBC Scotland programme Billy Connolly: Portrait of a Lifetime and are now on display in the People’s Palace.
