About Alexander Millar
Born and raised in the small mining community of Springside, just outside the town of Kilmarnock on the west coast of Scotland, Miller’s art is inspired by the working men and women of his childhood.
After many years of developing his own style in art he turned to images remembered from his childhood and used the local Tyneside ‘Gadgies’ as models in his paintings.
Making the ordinary details of life extraordinary via his exquisite use of light and impasto brushstrokes, Millar brings alive those gadgies of a bygone era. His depth of expression gives us an insight into the hearts and souls of working men around the world.
