The Portrait Gallery's shut for redevelopment.
These murals were painted by William Bold.
What we're doing is updating these murals.
We're going to paint our new version of what Scotland is;
the growth of a new space
a new building that represents people in Scotland.
Artists, academics, atheists, agnostics...
The not so heroic figures of the nation.

Yeah! That's what he is, that's what he is.
Rather than celebrating all the usual figures that are chosen for the portrait gallery.

That's what he is - that's all he is!
Who is Jesus?
It's never been done before...
... a graffiti exhibition in the Portrait Gallery.
