About The Work
Harland Miller, along with six other international artists, were asked to create a print for Choose Love. A third of the profits from the sale of each print will be benefit Choose Love – providing vital support to refugees and displaced people worldwide.
Miller's work 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 a Penguin classic. Miller continues to create work in this vein, expanding the book covers to include his own phrases, some hilarious and absurd, others with a lush melancholy.
Yes (2024) is a limited edition print, which is inspired by Miller’s Hard Edged Letter Painting series—a series that Miller has based on illuminated letters that appeared in medieval monks’ manuscripts from the 12th century. To this form, Miller applied a pop art sensibility, and once he’d exhausted words consisting of just one letter, he ventured into using words consisting of two letters, such as ‘So,’ ‘Up,’ and ‘If.’ Then, as it would follow, he progressed to using words made up of three letters, such as ‘Ace,’ ‘Luv,’ and ‘Yes.’
