Milly Skellington (b. 1993, Los Angeles) studied at Goldsmiths College in London and Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. Their work has been shown at El Clasificado Space (Los Angeles), New Space Lewisham (London), and Cody Wycoff Space (Brooklyn, NY), with recent exhibitions at Hyacinth Gallery, Europa (Lower East Side), and New Uncanny Gallery (Harlem).
Skellington’s practice blends printing technology with painterly gestures, using custom-built machines to replicate hand-rendered marks. Their work explores themes of authorship, media manipulation, and cultural paranoia, combining inkjet-printed images with hand-painted details to distort familiar narratives.
Inspired by Hollywood’s influence and modern media culture, Skellington’s work questions artistic control and innovation, reinterpreting collective memory through layered and unpredictable compositions. Upcoming exhibition at Europa Gallery!
