Alexander Millar

The characters that populate the paintings of Alexander Millar are drawn from his experiences of growing up in a small mining village near Kilmarnock, and later moving to industrial Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, where he had many jobs before becoming a professional artist in 1988. His scenes of working people in the 1950s: old men in flat caps, gossiping women in head-scarves and aprons, street drunks and ‘gadgies’. He sees them as ‘different choreographed parts in a sort of street ballet’.
