The Glasgow coronavirus inspired street art brightening up our city

Colourful murals and graffiti have been popping up around Glasgow since the coronavirus lockdown came into force in March.

Although it's sad to see our favourite businesses boarded up, the art has brought a much-needed bit of colour to the empty streets.

Street artists have been venturing out into quiet streets and leaving behind vibrant and thought-provoking commentary on the crisis.

Some artists have opted to create bold murals with messages of support for NHS workers or encouragement for the public to stay home.

Others have used their work to make a statement about the sinister nature of the virus.

For those of us who may be staying away from the city, we're taking a look at what art has found home in Glasgow during the coronavirus crisis.
