Alexander Millar - The Working Man Exhibition

Alexander Millar has long been recognised for his 'Gadgies and Gals', the characters who, with their flat caps and big boots, head scarves and housecoats, have brought smiles to the faces of many...

Now Alexander Millar is to gain even more exposure as his acclaimed 'Working Man Exhibition' is due to open at the Hancock Museum (Great North Museum) in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and will run from 26th March 2011 - 8th May 2011.

Evening Song by Alexander Millar £495

This show is the latest in a line up of successful collections in Alexander Millars 10 year history as a professional artist! His work goes from strength to strength and his original paintings can be found in private collections around the world...

A collection of six prints and one sculpture has been launched to accompany the exhibition and the 'Working Man' Collection is available from The Acorn Gallery right now!

Two superb canvas prints have already arrived and you can view 'Evening Song' and 'Big River' in the gallery today!

Come and see them now...

Also available for a limited time: The opportunity to purchase a superb original oil - small enough to fit anywhere but large enough in presence to grace any collection!

Top Sellers For 2010!!

January is here and we have reviewed the stats for the past 12 months. We can now reveal that the top sellers for 2010 are as follows:-

1. Keith Proctor
2. Peter Smith
3. Paul Horton

Congratulations to Keith Proctor - not bad for the new kid on the block! Top spot in his first year!! It was a close run race however with only 4 sales between 1st & 2nd place and only 2 sales between 2nd & 3rd places!

Our overall Top Sellers (since we opened in December 2007) :-

1. Peter Smith
2. Bob Dylan
3. Paul Horton

Peter Smith is still proving he has what it takes and we believe that he has lots more to follow! We are very excited about the 'Bimps' - new characters which Peter has shown us on his blog and on Facebook. We love them all, especially the dog and as soon as we know more about them then we will of course let you know!!

Not shown in the overall Top Sellers, but just biting on the heels of Paul Horton is Alexander Millar, who has a massive publicity push this year for his museum exhibition. This will be a fantastic show for Alex which will feature his famous Gadgies and Gals and rumours are afoot that he is planning a tour and a book! Watch this space for news...!

It looks like this year could be an interesting one and it will be very interesting to see if there are any changes in the overall Top Seller for 2011.
