Glasgow's newest murals revealed at Chivas Brothers distillery

The three paintings went up on the rounded tanks of the Strathclyde Distillery in the Gorbals.

Depicting inspiring Glaswegian figures, the works of art were created by local talent Molly Hankinson, Michael Corr and Rogue One, with additional typography by Ellie Mills.

The first tank shows Tom McGuire, frontman of 8-piece Glaswegian funk and soul band Tom McGuire & the Brassholes.

In the middle is Margaret Macdonald, an artist said to have helped define the ‘Glasgow Style’ movement of the 1890s-1900s.

Finally, the last mural celebrates the spirit of human adversity and triumph in overcoming obstacles and setbacks, by paying homage to Mark Coyle’s countless achievements whilst navigating the diagnosis of Perthes disease at an early age which left him wheelchair-bound and with his mobility restricted.

Ali Smith, Founder at artpistol Projects, said: “Glasgow is known as the place where grit and glamour coexist. It’s the kind of city that gets into your bones, so it comes as no surprise that it teems with creative talent.

“It’s brilliant to be able to work with a Scottish-born global giant like Chivas who really understands this notion and understands the unique market here. They’re just as passionate about uplifting the Glaswegian community as we are, and we can’t wait to see how the finished pieces turn out.”

Nick Blacknell, Global Marketing Director at Chivas, added: “Chivas and Strathclyde share a long and storied history; one that dates all the way back to the 18th century.

“As a location, it’s close to the hearts of everyone at Chivas and we’re honoured to be able to highlight its importance to us through the creation of these murals.

"We’re passionate about paying forward the kindness shown to us by the community here, so it felt right that we work with artists who either live nearby or have a clear connection to Glasgow and the Strathclyde region.”
