About the Item

Samuel Miller is a painter with a heightened sense of color, light and movement. Entirely self-taught, he effortlessly combines thousands of dots of intense color – many of which are found in nature – in a way few artists can emulate. The more colors an artist introduces to his palette, the more technically challenging it becomes to honor the internal logic of the painting; in the hands of lesser artists, all that remains for the viewer is simply color. Miller, however, possesses such skill that our minds perceive each painting as much more than just dazzling colors and abstract shapes. Miller is an artist of singular focus. He paints according to his own rules and at his own pace, surrounded by numerous pots of colour which he selects with great consideration. A paint-caked cleaning rag is never far from reach. He is resolute in painting only what interests him; he ignores suggestions or requests that are not exactly what he wanted to do anyway. His canvases are infused with his warm and gentle personality, which brings vibrancy to each work far greater than the sum of the colours alone. As with many of his contemporaries, Miller’s subject matter is his traditional Aboriginal Country’s topography and sacred stories. But his approach appears more like he is revealing the DNA of his Country rather than depicting aerial variations in the landscape: The precision of his execution points to the idea that the whole will unravel if even so much as one dot is dropped. The symbiotic relationship binding the people, land and culture could also be described thus, which when seen this way, reminds the viewer of the powerful cultural and political currents running through contemporary Aboriginal art. The purity and thoughtfulness of Miller’s mind find perfect expression in his colorful compositions, which beautifully reflect the sacred Country they describe. His paintings speak a truth far more eloquently in color than they ever could in words.
