POP ART has been taken a step forward in Angus with the release of rock art for sweet-toothed fans of one of the area’s legendary musical sons.

As part of the exhibition at Kirriemuir’s Gateway to the Glens museum celebrating the life of AC/DC star Bon Scott, world-renowned artist Eddie Summerton has produced a limited edition rock with reference to Kirrie-born Bon.

With ‘let there be rock’ lettering running through it, the unusual item also ties in perfectly with the town’s sweetie-making tradition and is already being snapped up at the museum.

It is 25 years since the AC/DC star’s tragic death and the display at the museum celebrates the career of the rock giant with a host of objects, many lent by enthusiastic fans from around the world, including rare vinyl albums, photographs, programmes and posters.

The display runs until August 20.

The sugary commission was something out of the ordinary for Mr Summerton, who has exhibited paintings, sculptures and sound works from the Far East to the west coast of America.

He has received numerous awards and scholarships and his work can be found in private and public collections in Europe, South Korea and the USA.

He is currently a lecturer in fine art at the University of Dundee.
