Harland Miller

Harland Miller gained recognition with his debut novel, *Slow Down Arthur, Stick to Thirty* (2000), which follows a young boy's journey through northern England with a David Bowie impersonator. Drawing from his life experiences, Miller views books as valuable objects, a sentiment reflected in his art. His paintings and paper creations evoke narratives rich in human emotion and tragicomedy, using titles and phrases to encourage varied interpretations.

Influenced by mid-century American Pop art and abstraction, Miller explores the potential of language in visual art, employing humor and irony to delve into the aesthetics of painting and the complexities of language. His work has attracted celebrities like Ed Sheeran and Rachel Weisz, with pieces selling for six figures at auction. Miller has exhibited globally, with solo shows in cities including London, Hong Kong, Berlin, Paris, and New York.
