Description

BLONDE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN, 2013

Screenprint on paper

135 x 110 cm

Edition of 50

Harland Miller's Blonde But Not Forgotten combines the familiar design of a Penguin paperback with a wry, invented title. Broad green bands surround a cream panel of black lettering, while uneven edges and painterly marks evoke the appearance of a well-handled book cover. The work balances literary humour with the visual weight of colour, typography and scale.

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.
