A beautifully painted ceiling in a historic Glasgow food, drink events and entertainment venue has been named as one the UK's best artworks.
"Its panels present figures from various belief systems against a blue cosmos. The ceiling features a dictum paraphrased from the Canadian poet Dennis Lee – “Work as if you were living in the early days of a better nation” – now engraved on the Scottish Parliament’s Canongate Wall." The history of the work is explained on the Oran Mor website and says: "Alasdair intended to paint our celestial night sky with a random array of stars but as the church beams divided our ceiling into 12 equal spaces, he painted a constellation of the zodiac in each.
