A GLASGOW artist has brought colour to one of Glasgow’s biggest canvases as the multi-million pound redevelopment of Queen Street station gathers pace.
Gabriella Marcella’s work will feature at Scotland’s third busiest station in the run up to the completion of the project, which is scheduled for 2020.
The demolition of Consort House tower and the Millennium Hotel extension has cleared the way for the final phase of demolition on Dundas Street to get underway. Piling work to underpin the future expanded station concourse will now begin.
The artwork will also provide a striking backdrop for spectators and athletes, arriving in the city for next month’s European Championships.
Alex Hynes, ScotRail Alliance managing director said: “The artwork that Gabriella has produced is intended to give everyone using and working at the station a boost. It’s bright, bold, modern and inspired by Glasgow – it fits with our vision for the new look Queen Street station.”
