Alexander Millar, an esteemed and highly collectible artist from Ayrshire, is renowned for his self-taught, contemporary impressionist style. His work beautifully captures the subtle marvels of everyday life.

Millar is among the rare contemporary artists in the UK who have showcased their work in notable museum exhibitions across Newcastle (The Great North: Hancock), Glasgow (Scotland Street Museum), and New York (The Fire Department Museum of New York). His art has also graced public spaces, from shopping centers to metro carriages, and has been featured as scenic backdrops in theatrical productions.

His landscapes transport viewers to the 1950s and 60s, with impressionistic brushstrokes and tones that create a nostalgic and romantic vision of that era. Millar often plays with light effects, such as reflections on a wet tiled roof, evoking the cityscapes of one's childhood.

From an early age, Millar perceived his environment and the people around him as part of a choreographed street ballet: old men cycling home from a long day’s work, women gossiping on street corners, and workers stumbling home after a night out.
