MIKE MILLER | Art as investigation

Welcome to Mike Miller

These paintings comprise two collections along with a few random works. Family images are based on old photographs, many taken in Williamstown, New Jersey in the 1950s and others in Pennsylvania in the 70s and 80s.

Images from China reflect my brief stay in that country, 2005-2007, to study Chinese law. They tend towards the gently comedic, but I don’t think they evidence charm or whimsy. It’s about something else. Of course, you might disagree.

I’m a Philadelphian, and I find my intentions shifting to Paulownia trees blooming purple along Regional Rail lines, and the Schuylkill down the block from me, Market Streett and 30th Street Station and the Parkway. Maybe Atlantic City, too. It’s all my territory.

Please enjoy.
