About the 'Working Man' Exhibition

Very occasionally, in the art world, one is privileged to witness history in the making, to be part of landmark event in an artist's career. There is no doubt amongst critics and collectors alike, that Alexander Millar's museum exhibition 'Working Man', is one of those moments.

An invitation to exhibit in a museum is a rare and pretigious accolade, this recognition of Millar's unique talent by the Great North Museum: Hancock and the flattering comparisons to L.S. Lowry from the London Evening Standard and The Times respectively, only confirms what we have always known about Alexander Millar, that he is an artist of international calibre, possessing a depth of expression unrivalled in the contemporary art world.

This major new exhibition of never-before-seen original paintings by Alexander Millar, goes on display in the Great North Museum: Hancock, in the heart of Newcastle, the city that inspires so much of his work. 

Alexander Millar's 'Working Man' collection is inspired by the steel workers, ship workers and miners of Newcastle and the North-East, celebrating the people of a bygone era who are associated so intimately with the virtues and morals of the region.

Led by the Great North Museum: Hancock and supported by  Washington Green Fine Art, a Learning and Education Programme will run in conjunction with the exhibition, featuring a number of activities which will all be free of charge to children, and families. From painting lessons with Alexander Millar to interactive play aimed at conveying the role of the working man and woman in shaping the history of Newcastle.

The exhibition was opened by Alexander on Saturday 26th March, it ends on Sunday 8th May, admission is free!

Six prints have been released from the exhibition, available in a very low edition of 95. Please click here to view Alexander Millar's prints.

Thousands raised for children's charity

Artists Alexander Millar and Jeff Rowland and Washington Green have raised a fantastic £4,461.00 for the new renal unit at Birmingham's Children's hospital.

The amount was raised by the artists donating all royalties from a limited edition print of their jointly created 'Singin In The Rain' painting, signe3d by each of them. Washington Gren generously matched the figure adding up to a substantial contribution to a very deserving cause.

 The painting is featured on the left.
