The first mural of Nuart Aberdeen 2024 has been finished – and Millo’s epic work on the wall of Aberdeen Health Village is an instant classic.
It depicts one his signature giant figures pegging up old photos of the Granite City – including an image of the legendary burning of the trams at the beach.
We caught up with the Italian artist just moments after the finishing touches were made to unveil his piece, so he could tell us more about it and his love of Nuart Aberdeen.
Millo is one of 11 internationally-acclaimed artists who will be transforming walls and public spaces across the city over the course of this week ahead of the Nuart Aberdeen festival weekend, running from Thursday, 6th June, to Sunday, 9th June.
