GREGORY MACMILLAN

This commercial commission was for a sculptural head, to rotate, suspended in its own niche, in a restaurant. The piece incorporated mirror shards which glittered as it rotated in the targeted beams of light.

This item was in two parts, together over 9 ft. wide. The mirror company said that it was the largest piece they ha ever done, and the bevel, at 3 ins., the widest.

This small trompe l'oeil setpiece shows botht the strenghts and weaknesses of the technique. From a slightly different angle, the candlestick is perfectly photo-realistic. For this shot I preferred the depth in the books. In the room, however, both of these aspects blend, the box disappearing completely. The eye accomodates in a most fascinating way!

This corner of a large scale project draws together the various elements into a compositional statement. Curved wall panels, painted elements, and the corner mirrors are then doubled, with the added sparkle of directed lighting.

This commission was from the well-known jewellers, Boodle and Dunthorne, for their Regent Street shop. Measuring some 25 ft. across, it was a free interpretation of the different visual devices of the Baroque manner.

Boodles Regent Street. Inspired by the masters of the Renaissance and the baroque, by mategna and Tiepolo, this was an essay in the grand manner. It re-cast the characters as modern london types at a party....some defying gravity...

A large mural painting, some 12 ft. high, at the end of a long corridor. Dramatic, monumental, and larger than life. Atlas carries the heavens on his shoulders.

The surface is articulated on a jzz-moderne theme, with lightin elements incorporating glass slabs.

This commission was from kitchen company for a custom trompe l'oeil cooker splashback, robust and hardened for the application.
