Visual art was always central to Alasdair Gray’s life, but he achieved recognition first and foremost as a writer. During his time at Glasgow School of Art, he began to write sections of what would later become his most critically acclaimed novel, ‘Lanark’.
We spoke to the artist and friend Liz Lochhead about his work: his art, writing, and connection to the city for this film, published in 2019.

Thank you, Alasdair: good friend when we were in Art School. So glad I could visit you from the States in 2018.! So much emptier a world without you, but surely you're chronicling the cosmos you dwell in now!

What a 'document' of Alasdair Gray, and Glasgow - great to see/hear Liz Lochhead too - another genius. Beautiful/wonderful.

Alasdair Gray is my hero, an idiosyncratic visionary cut from the same cloth as Blake

He is 85 years old now. I'm glad he's still working away at what he is passionate about. He was a huge inspiration to me while I was at school. With my interests in art and writing, my English teacher gave me a copy of Lanark and I've loved his work ever since.
