Behind the Scenes: Jack Milroy's Studio

 

Join us as we take a peek into the studio of Jack Milroy. Educated at the Scarborough School of Art and the University of London, the Glasgow-born artist is based in Sussex and London. Specialising in intricate cut-paper designs, Milroy's work transforms printed form into complex structures and paradisal landscapes.

Carefully carving with a scalpel, Milroy recomposes and reconstructs printed material to imbue it with fresh meaning. His finished sculptural works merge meticulous precision and structural prowess; at once ornamental and architectural. Through innovative layering, the works evoke new narratives and a sense of poetry. Vibrantly colourful, the spectacularly sculptural pieces spread joy to those who engage with them.

Visually stunning as finished objects, it is the details through which Milroy’s work truly comes alive. Inviting us to dive deeper and explore new perspectives in his breath-taking imaginary worlds, a closer look reveals his playful nature and subtle humour.
