George Wyllie Preview : A Life Less Ordinary

I attended the preview of the Collins Gallery's final show this evening, celebrating the life and work of George Wyllie, one of Scotland's favourite artists. Opened by Richard Demarco (seen here in the background), it was packed out. What an exhibition, I really do recommend a visit.

Situated on the University of Strathclyde campus, the show is on until 21 April, further details here.

George's scul?ture of "Chuckie Soup" was inspired by a conversation between the characters Dougie and Sunny Jim in the "Para Handy Tales" by Neil Munro.
