EMILY BROOKS MILLAR
Emily Brooks Millar is a visual artist based in Glasgow, Scotland, whose work primarily focuses on British and American political issues.
A dark sense of humour and satire are present throughout her work, where an illustrative style sheds light on complex topics. Through paint, illustration and animation, her pieces are underpinned by her background in Oral History. As winner of the Neil Rafeek Prize (2022), she translates extensive interviewee discussions into creations for mass audiences. Alongside this, she is heavily inspired by current internet culture, identity and user interaction.
Clients include: BBC, Image Comics, Netflix and The Big Issue.

ARTIST STATEMENT
"The work takes flight from both extensive interviews and the nuances of everyday conversation. Comedy, albeit dark, is essential in opening a dialogue with the audience, allowing divisive and unifying opinions to emerge. Animals appear often due to the satirical nature of the pieces, projecting cartoon-like violence and parallels with humankind." - Emily Brooks Millar
