About The Work
Harland Miller’s Demons Are Forever featured prominently in Miller’s 2022 exhibition Imminent End, Rescheduled Eternally at White Cube Bermondsey, London.
Miller says “The starting point for the painting was a detail taken from a painting by one of my favourite artists – Dutch Situationist Asger Jorn’s. I think instead of worrying about his ongoing influence on my work, I decided to bring it forward in the form of this very small detail that I’ve blown up and reworked on a large scale – repeating back to front and then upside down – reducing in size each time to create or suggest a kind of eternal spiral. Combined with this colour palette – so associated with depictions of demons over time, it echoes the idea of forever in the title and also combines this idea of high and low culture, which is also a forever kind of theme in my work.”
Miller’s Demons Are Forever edition has been painstakingly handmade through multiple layers of etching and relief printing, with extensive hand-finishing by the print studio.
