Where Glasgow Comes Alive Through Colour and Movement
GlasGogh is a Glasgow-based art brand founded by artist and social entrepreneur Mark Armstrong, blending expressive Post-Impressionist influence with the identity, heritage and emotional landscape of the city.
Original Glasgow art prints, Van Gogh–inspired paintings, Scottish cityscape artwork and limited edition fine art.
Rooted in Mark’s East End upbringing, GlasGogh began as a personal creative experiment – reimagining familiar landmarks and moments through bold colour, movement and texture. Inspired by the energy of Van Gogh’s brushwork and the soul of Glasgow, each piece transforms place into feeling, and architecture into story.
What started as a small collection of paintings has grown into an evolving body of work spanning original artworks, international print editions, commissions and exhibitions. The GlasGogh range captures iconic city scenes with swirling motion and vivid light, while newer experimental collections push the palette further, exploring emotion, humour and personal narrative.
Beyond the canvas, GlasGogh is grounded in purpose and connection. Mark’s practice is deeply intertwined with community work, charity partnerships and creative regeneration. His commissioned painting Journey for SCIAF has been used internationally in humanitarian campaigns, while works such as Rising from the Rubble and Beatson Blossom reflect a commitment to art as a tool for hope, solidarity and healing.
Whether through original paintings, prints, commissions or live creative experiences, GlasGogh invites people to see their city – and their stories – differently. Each piece is created with the same aim: to resonate emotionally, celebrate place, and bring colour, movement and meaning into everyday spaces.

Mark’s artistic practice is grounded in connection – the same ethos behind his work leading Collective Communities CIC and his many charity and volunteer roles. Whether capturing a landmark or an emotional story, his aim remains the same: to create art that resonates, inspires, and invites people to see their city differently.
Art rooted in Glasgow, expressed through colour and movement - delivered with intention, craftsmanship and pride.
