Harland Miller

Artist

Harland Miller is a writer and artist, based in both Europe and America. Miller published his debut novel, Slow down Arthur, Stick to Thirty, in 2001. In the same year he published a small novella, First I was Afraid, I was Petrified. In 2001, Miller produced a series of paintings based on 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.

Miller was the writer-in-residence at the ICA for 2002, and over the course of his residency he programmed a number of events drawing from his experience in literature and fine art, which included a season devoted to the ongoing influence and legacy of Edgar Allen Poe. His group exhibitions include the Royal Academy, Kunsthalle, Mannheim and the ICA.
