I couldn’t find any pictures of these paintings online so I took my own.
These paintings hang in the foyer of The Glasgow Royal Concert Halls.
“Pillow Of Dreams” – Steven Campbell (1995):
You may notice that the actual pillow is missing from the painting and that is because a wee boy pulled it off a few years ago. Maybe he thought it was ridiculous 
“The Pillow Of Dreams” depicts opera singer Dame Joan Sutherland garlanded with a tiara of tears, with the pillow (not) resting on her chin, a ‘place for dreams’.
I don’t know what that means either folks.
Next up,
“Concert Hall” – Adrian Wiszniewski (1995):
As you can see, Wiszeniewski’s painting shows a quartet playing various musical instruments in bright, vibrant colours.
I don’t mind that painting but this one is by far my favourite:
“Forest” – Ken Currie (1995):
“Forest” by Ken Currie depicts a dark group of figures indicating a choir, and is, according to the artist – open to individual interpretation.
Thanks Ken!
When I look at that painting I see a group of braindead old zombie corpses who are hungry for babies and brains, finding their way out of the graveyard on a cold, cold night.
“My Great Heart” – Peter Howson (1996):
Howson’s “My Great Heart” was inspired by reading Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress and the novels of John Buchan, which explore the strength of the human spirit. The image is also a distillation of the characters Howson remembers from personal experiences; from the rougher parts of Glasgow to the war-torn towns of Bosnia. The boxer is a recurrent motif as Howson was himself a boxer and for him signifies the triumph of the underdog.
Top tastic
Good eh?
Well except for the top one.
That’s horrendous.
The bottom one is by Peter Howson… possibly called The Boxer (although I might just be making that up). I see Pillow Lady doesn’t have her pillow back yet, then. It’s been months since I’ve been in GRCH!
