Black Burns

I nipped into the Portrait Gallery on Queen Street in search of a quick blip, and came out with this rather alarming offering. It's called "Black Burns" and it's by Douglas Gordon and said to be a response to the well-known full length statue of Burns which is on the plinth in the background. I have cut him off at the thigh but you can see a full-length version here.

Here is a bit more about the work if you are interested.
