“In creating space without relying on perspective, Milroy hints at the influence of 15th-century Florentine portraits and Morris, as well as Philip Guston after his move away from abstraction, and Marsden Hartley, especially his still lifes. While I see these connections, I feel that Milroy has established his own territory.”
