Alexander Millar - Working Man, Museum Collecion

Thu, 17 Mar 2011 02:11:00 GMT

Enid Hutt Gallery are honoured to launch ‘Working Man’, the signed limited edition collection of art taken from the prestigious Alexander Millar museum exhibition opening at the Great North Museum: Hancock this spring.

These signed limited editions take us on a deeper journey with the familiar ‘gadgie’ character than perhaps any of Millar’s work to date. In this collection Millar cleverly brings ever more humanity into his paintings, his sensitive depiction of these working men, allows us to connect with them like never before. Their lives and loves, trials and tribulations, hopes and dreams, are laid out before us on canvas.

With scenes of industry so atmospherically portrayed and the souls of these working men so gracefully depicted, this is truly a unique and emotive collection of art.

You can view the new collection here.
