Where figurative painting has often striven for grand effect, Milne’s paintings have their own magic because they are so specific: it is the telling detail so faithfully recorded that allows the viewer to project their own experiences into this space and time.
Milne has created a world that we feel we know, but more importantly, these paintings also have an honesty and truthfulness to them that are, for me, their true value.
– Dr Andrew Frost, 2017 (catalogue essay)
