Painted before the George Square renovations, this GlasGogh piece captures Glasgow City Chambers at a moment of transition. The building stands grand and illuminated, its familiar towers and ornate façade rising above the square, while the sky burns with expressive strokes of gold, red and deep blue.
Inspired by Van Gogh’s emotional use of colour and movement, the painting turns George Square into a stage for Glasgow’s civic identity. The fiery sky suggests change, energy and uncertainty, while the City Chambers remains steady at the centre — a symbol of history, power and public life. It is a portrait of the city before renewal, holding onto its character while the world around it shifts.
