Robert Macmillan is an Broughty Ferry based artist inspired in part by the magnificent landscape along the Fife Coast. Inspired by many artists whose work is tonal and atmospheric, Robert captures the light and colour of the east coast using soft, built up layers of oil paint. Reworking and relayering these intimate pieces creating a wonderful luminosity that reflects Tay Country.
Robert Macmillan (born 1974, Glasgow, Scotland)
