Oversized letterforms overlap in vivid turquoise, red and pink, transforming the short word ACE into an almost abstract arrangement. Curved outlines and solid blocks of colour pull the eye between reading the letters and following their shapes. In Ace (Large), Harland Miller gives typography a striking physical presence through the scale and intensity of the composition.

The Artist

Harland Miller

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.
