Title

Ace (Small)

Description

Harland Miller layers the letters of ACE into a vivid interplay of turquoise, pink and red. A pale band beneath the image echoes the layout of a printed cover, while the enlarged curves and angles above turn language into colour and shape. Ace (Small) combines the immediacy of a short, affirmative word with the visual complexity of overlapping typography.

All works are supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by Dovehouse Contemporary.

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.
