Millington uses colour cleverly. Muted, dark on the outside leading the eye in to the brightly illuminated central square under an azure sky. He invokes a feeling of importance and presence to this world famous Chateaux producing the sweet Sauterne wines, and Yquem being generally acknowledged as the most prestigious. 

Millington was born in Birmingham and studied initially at the Birmingham College of Art followed by printmaking at the Manchester College of Art. His work is held by The Tate and Arts Council and there are plenty of both auction records and sales records to view online.
