Animated Hero

Scottish artist Stuart McAlpine Miller regularly hits the headlines with his Pop Art paintings. Fusing cartoons with themes of idealism and consumerism, his multi-layered artworks blend the past with the present.

Using subtle tones of paint, Stuart creates the illusion of transparency. The overall effect is similar to looking through a glass bottle, distorting the image and presenting a different version of the same subject. In turn, a farfetched reality is created, highlighting the unrealistic expectations of today’s society.

“Warhol’s views on mass consumerism and the way he translated these into his art is something I really relate to. I hope my art does something similar and stands the test of time.”
