New Paintings Celebrate University of Glasgow's Brush with Cosmic History

A Scottish artist has donated two new paintings to the University of Glasgow to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the first detection of gravitational waves.

Professor Dugald Cameron created the artworks in recognition of the University's role in the historic first detection of gravitational waves, made by the USA-based Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) on September 14th, 2015.

The paintings, titled 'Dawn: Window of a New Era in Understanding', each measuring 30.25 inches by 22.25 inches, are painted in oils and have been presented to the University's Institute for Gravitational Research.
