Greg Miller Figurative Paintings
American, b. 1951
Greg Miller grew up in '50s– and '60s–era Sacramento, inspired by the rush of billboards, posters, ads and text that shaped the flat delta landscapes and pulp fiction images of his youth. Layer upon layer of images — one billboard or poster slapped over the next — formed a sort of cultural geology, where the passage of time might jumble, conceal and reveal an archeology of images, their stories hidden and hinted at in the remaining fragments.
Labeled a “neo-Pop” and “post-Pop” artist by such critics as Donald Kuspit and Peter Frank, Miller does indeed draw from pop cultural imagery that saturated American consciousness during the 1950s and 1960s. It was a time when advertising and text became indelibly encrypted into our experience of everyday life. Life as “advertised” and life as “lived” became insuperably intertwined on the pages of LIFE and LOOK magazines, on television shows, commercials, billboards, hotel signs, romance novels and even matchbook covers as never before. Miller’s paintings excavate this imagery and often appear as unreconstructed fragments of these signs, drips, patterns and phrases.
Miller’s work is featured in numerous museum and private collections, including those of the Frederick R. Weisman Foundation and Charles Saatchi Foundation.

About the Artist:
Drawing from the diverse cultural and geographic makeup of his Californian roots, Greg Miller explores his relationship with the space he inhabits to communicate a particular urban experience. Working with both paint and collage, he constructs and deconstructs exploring the contradiction, ambiguity, and truth between urban streetscape and history.
Miller’s art is clever and cool. His abstracted backgrounds of drips, patterns, and phrases and the peeling back of layers provide a study in the impermanence of the things that surround us. His large-scale paintings and installations aim to make the most fleeting parts of American culture tangible. They grab us nostalgically, rousing us to enjoy the momentary beauty found in the impermanent parts of our lives. There is a fragile heroicness conveyed within the temporary nature of it all, especially within his construction of paper, wood, and natural materials, that gives Miller’s work liveliness and depth.
Greg Miller’s work is featured in numerous museum and private collections that have traveled internationally including those organized by the Charles Saatchi Collection and the Frederick R. Weisman...

American 1
By Greg Miller
Located in Santa Monica, CA
Born in 1951, Miller came of age in the Bay Area in the 1960s and 70s, a time when America’s projected Post-War idealism was at odds with tumultuous political and social conflict. There are visual references to historical events in Miller’s work - both the joyous and the turbulent - juxtaposed with those signifiers of modern American culture - provocative and glamorous women, iconic consumer products, booze, classic cars and apple pie.
Miller’s work synthesizes a number of elements both contemporary and age-old. Critic Peter Frank remarks, “Greg Miller brings the pictorial poise of Pop to the eloquent fury of street art, effecting a marriage - or at least a torrid affair - between two hot items. One item is hot today, the other has been hot for a half century, but in Miller’s hands there is no generation gap, only a spiritual union...
