StuartMcAlpineMiller paints dreams and visions in which the onlooker feels like a participant in the frame. Technically brilliant, his provocative and visually arresting images of beautiful women and nostalgic cartoon images are a winning combination COMIC CHICKS
Scottish-born artist Stuart McAlpine Miller, a graduate of Glasgow School of Art, displays all the characteristics of his home nation – tenacity, deter- mination and a wry sense of humour. “Unlike a lot of artists I am a painter who owns up to living in 2012 – I do live in the real world and my art reflects this” says McAlpine Miller. He freely admits that he has been toiling at the coalface of the art world for the last twenty years and has only recently won the critical recognition he deserves. His distinctive and striking work, featuring stylish, cool 'su- permodelesque' women, super- imposed over brightly coloured cartoons in an illusionary world of comic book characters have hit a nerve with experienced col-
lectors and everyday art lovers alike. His overt commentary on the superficiality of fame and celebrity, the Western preoc- cupation with consumerism and ostentatious signs of wealth and beauty are his stock in trade, all beautifully executed with the most technically deft hand. “Surreal in feel, hidden dangers appear to lurk beneath the sur- face, as pop images jump off the canvas and the optical illusion strikes” is McAlpine Miller’s take on his new collection.
