Greg Miller, Artist, 3-9-07
Greg Miller has been labeled by critics as a “post pop industrial artist”. Miller, a child of the fifties and sixties, is very much a romantic, with a strong yearning for the simple beauty of yesteryear America. Miller paints billboards, motels and old Hollywood haunts, building his surfaces with a subtle yet very physical process, starting with collage, then layering paint, airbrush and finishing off the surface with resin. The artist views his work as looking into the past to find the future.
Currently Miller is in a group show, Greetings from the American Dream, at the Riverside Art Museum and will be exhibiting in a solo show in London, September 2007.His art can be found in the collections of The Kemper Museum in Kansas City, MO; The Saatchi Collection; and The Frederick R. Weisman Foundation. Miller is represented by MW Gallery, New York, NY.
Greg Miller was born in 1951 in Sacramento, CA. He has a M.A. from San Jose University and attended the San Francisco Art Institute and UCLA graduate school. He currently lives and works in Venice, CA and his work is in numerous corporate, private and museum collections. In addition to his painting career, Miller has created short films such as “The Kidnapping” and “Darth Days”, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. His third film project, “Go Fish”, previewed at Art Basel - Miami Beach in December 2006.
