The artwork has been covered with black paint.

A mural painted on the side of a listed tenement in Glasgow's east end without permission has been removed just weeks after it was unveiled.

The work by London-based artist Josephine Hicks showed a pair of legs wearing Clarks desert boots surrounded by plants. The colourful piece read 'For The World Ahead' and featured the Clarks logo and their website address.Just weeks after it was completed, the mural has now been painted over leaving a black wall.

Under council regulations, planning permission would be required for an 'application of colour' to the building as it's in a conservation area and is a listed building. Permission would also be required to use the address as advertising. The artwork had drawn a mixed reaction from the public due to the fact it had no connection to the area and was instead being used to advertise. Concerns were raised that the move could lead to an increase in commercial murals appearing across the city.
