John Patrick Byrne – A Big Adventure
Until 18 September, 2022
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8AG
This is the first retrospective of Scottish artist and writer John Byrne’s illustrious career for more than 20 years. A polymath and cultural icon, John has continued to work, paint and create plays on into his 80’s. This exhibition encapsulates the energy and excitement of John’s work and tells a little of the fascinating life he’s led. A highlight of the show at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum will be a room displaying over 40 self-portraits, the most ever displayed at one time, spanning Byrne’s whole career. Will feature works from Glasgow Life Museums’ collection as well as institutions from across Scotland and private lenders.
