David Milne - Biography

In essence, the meticulous and precise hard edge abstract work of David Milne looks at sacred mysteries of Divine Geometry – ‘The Nucleus’. Referencing the alchemical engravings ofthe Seventeenth Century, Milne’s paintings are part riddle and part ‘the spiritualisation of matter’. In his complex yet clear compositions, designed around meditative inflection, Milne infuses intersecting historical iconography with elementary symbols without elaboration.

Since moving to Australia in 1966 David Milne studied at the National Art School at the Sydney Technical College, participated in over 30 exhibitions in Australia, several important shows abroad and consistently produced work by commission. Milne is represented in the Newcastle Art Gallery, Benalla Art Gallery and numerous private and corporate collections in Australia, Asia, Europe and the UK.
