Glasgow Artist Allan Richardson – Local City Scenes

summer in glasgow

Allan Richardson is  much loved and well known local artist, who  can often be seen working on his latest project in the streets of Glasgow. He always takes the time to stop and answer any questions people may have about his work – and usually he has a good story to tell  about the buildings he is capturing on canvas. allansart.com

Best In The West BusinessAllan is such a popular Glasgow character  that he is featured in Alasdair Gray’s mural in Hillhead Underground, where he is depicted in his other role – keeping the streets of the West End sparkling clean.

A self taught artist, Allan captures some of Glasgow’s most iconic buildings in his own unique style which makes us all yearn to be there. His  art is particularly popular with Glasgow ex-pats and is a great way for them to have their own bit of Glasgow in their home.
