Meet the real Liam Gallagher

Liam Gallagher had his first art exhibition while knocking 80, encouraged by his art activist grandson, Scottee who taught him to write, writes Suzanne Harrington

MEET Liam Gallagher. No, not that one. The real one. The Real Liam Gallagher is a 79-year-old up-and-coming artist from Donegal who has been described by arts and culture magazine Vice as “one of 2015’s most exciting new voices.”

He had his first ever show, No Need To Shout, in London this May, and more recently in Brighton. His grandson Scottee says that his Grandad is “the political David Shrigley”. Unlike the visual artist, David Shrigley, Liam Gallagher has never been to art school.
