We’re delighted to share that GlasGogh has been featured in Glasgow World in a recent article by Callum McCormack, highlighting the journey behind Mark Armstrong’s Van Gogh–inspired Glasgow artworks.
The piece explores how GlasGogh evolved from a Saturday morning oil painting class in Dennistoun into a growing body of work now finding homes across the world — from Australia and South Africa to the United States.
It looks at the influences behind the work, including Mark’s visits to Paris and the Van Gogh exhibition in Glasgow, and how those experiences shaped a series of paintings that reimagine Glasgow landmarks through colour, movement, and texture inspired by the Dutch master.
The article also touches on:
- The development of the GlasGogh style and name
- The connection between specific Van Gogh works and Glasgow locations
- Recent pieces inspired by cultural icons such as Billy Connolly
- The move into fine art prints and international demand
- The first gallery to exhibit GlasGogh works locally
Rather than summarising it here, we’d love you to read the full story as told by Glasgow World.
