(1938 - )
Jack Milroy was born in Glasgow and studied at Scarborough School of Art (1956–60) and at the Institute of Education, University of London (1960–61). He has lived and worked in London since 1961. His practice encompasses the repurposing of materials – from illustrated books and posters, to maps and packaging – as a means to create expansive, yet intricate, artworks. Elements of Surrealism, and references to modern technology, Pop art, and the natural environment are apparent in his work. His first solo exhibition was held at the Rotherham City Art Gallery in 1967 and his work has been subsequently shown both in Britain and the United States.
