Harland Miller: York, So Good They Named It Once
This 2020 print featured amongst some of Miller’s best-known works alongside new paintings created especially for his exhibition at York Art Gallery in early 2020.
A limited number of prints were sold, only available from the gallery during the show which close early due to the pandemic, and these are becoming more desireable as a great entry level piece to add to a new or growing collection.
Harland Miller - York Screenprint
Harland Miller is a British writer and artist working both in Europe and America since the 1980s. In 2001 Harland Miller produced a series of paintings based of the dust jackets of Penguin books.
By combining the motif inherent in the Penguin book, Miller found a way to marry aspects of Pop Art, abstraction and figurative painting at once, with his writer’s love of text.
The ensuing images are humorous, sardonic and nostalgic at the same time, while the painting style hints at the dog-eared, scuffed covers of the Penguin classics themselves.
