DIGITAL ART & NFT
​
McAlpine Millers art works are initially created working in oils, using tone and light to create the illusion of transparency, his work endeavours to create a multi dimensional perspective. His paintings have a 3D look about them. Seemingly composed through the employment of graphical cropped images edited under a CGI mouse-move, but it is all done with his sable paintbrush. With this, he paints pictures that connect with you, today.
​
The artist has always had a fascination for technology, music and fashion and the transition to creating his original paintings in digital format was an obvious development.
“My paintings comment on how beauty is only skin-deep and how we tend to hide behind this façade, when in reality we need to uncover our real issues and discover ourselves. My art is like a mirror to society –in private we’re ourselves, but in public, we’re veiled by many layers we put up.
I have been influenced by Renaissance art, especially Caravaggio as he had a great approach to figurative art – my favourite of his works is The Supper at Emmaus, which is very dark and dramatic. Transparent imagery has also been a growing fascination of mine and gradually this has become the focus of my work. So the basis of the concept lies in Renaissance art but with a surrealist and contemporary edge.”
