Originally sketched in black and white, Billy’s reimagination of this artwork illustrates the continuing evolution of his unique signature style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy introducing a spectrum of colour to the famous ‘Glaswegian Icarus’, Billy expresses his love for creativity and originality, encouraging us all to embrace our individuality, no matter what. Although his figures are faceless, they still manage to possess an extraordinary self-awareness and humanity, whilst their anonymity opens them up to individual interpretation, creating a unique bond with the viewer. Connolly told us “I'm very fond of this. I grow fonder of it.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBilly’s joy for life is clear and infectious in this collection. As we see the figures playing music, dancing and expressing their unique style, Billy gives us an insight into some of the most nostalgic moments throughout his life and career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether it’s hearing the pulsing sound of bagpipers lining the streets at the Edinburgh Fringe, the blossoming relationship with his art or the magical light of the Scottish gloaming, each piece reveals life through Billy’s eyes, while inviting the viewer to enjoy it in a way that’s true to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescribed by The Times as 'poignant', 'funny' and 'enigmatic', Billy’s highly collectible prints and stainless-steel sculptures are as amusing as his comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis artwork is a Double Hit Flatbed Giclée Limited Edition on 100% Cotton Saunders Waterford 300gsm Paper.
