To mark his 70th year, the Open Eye Gallery presents a large-scale exhibition to celebrate the works of Edinburgh-based artist Brent Millar.
About
Brent looks to nature, poetry and music to produce work of rare symbolic and emotive force, creating dreamlike compositions where observation and imagination blur harmoniously. Birds are a unifying theme in his practice, emerging as the symbolic link between music and nature. Starlings, goldfinches, chaffinches and swans repeatedly sweep into his paintings, defined in areas of saturated colour and delineated by bold strokes.
Featuring paintings, drawings and ceramics this exhibition of new and historical works encapsulates both the joyful and expressive work for which he has become known.
