Fit to print: Gallery prepares to open major John Byrne restrospective

Glasgow Print Work director John Mackechnie holds work by artist John Byrne ahead of the opening of John Byrne At 80, a retrospective exhibition of works in print by the revered Scottish playwright, writer and artist who turned 80 earlier this year.

The works have all been produced at Glasgow Print Studio since the early 1990s and includes a selection of new and exclusive hand- coloured screenprints created this year.

Known as a polymath of prolific output, producing plays, screenplays and stage design alongside his art, Byrne’s style has brought him significant renown in recent years.
