Paton Miller Paintings
American, b. 1953
Paton Miller’s natural talent as an artist was apparent from an early age when his family noticed Miller drawing caricatures of the family. This interest in the family condition grew into an interest in the human condition, leading him to his early studies of Honoré Daumier, Francisco de Goya, and William Hogarth. The family moved to Hawaii when he was quite young. In 1973, following his formal art studies at the Honolulu Academy of Arts, Miller embarked on a year-long journey that took him west from the island of Oahu, Hawaii, to the Philippines, China, much of Asia and Europe, finally returning to the United States.
In the ensuing years, Miller has had over fifteen solo exhibitions and numerous group shows in New York, and across the United States and around the world. His penchant for capturing the comedy and drama of the human condition continues to this day. Reminiscing about those first early days in Southampton, Miller remarked on his first exposure to the titans of contemporary art: “I found myself in the studios of Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, Larry Rivers, and Frank Stella. It was a great experience for a young artist.” Miller’s work is a combination of his early influences, his own life experiences, his personal life, and his extensive adventures.
Many writers have commented on Paton Miller’s unique works, including American art critic, poet, and professor Donald Kuspit, who wrote: “These pictures make clear a familiar, but often forgotten point: that the expressivity of a representational scene often depends upon the abstract intensity generated in response to the medium. Without this visionary intensity, representational painting can become a kind of perceptual journalism. It becomes all the more important when the artist is picturing inner rather than overt horror. The achievement of ecstatic abstractness also indicates that the artist is master of the scene, rather than overwhelmed by what she or he is rendering — to make it appear magically upon command, which is what Miller’s version of magic realism does.”to

Located in Culver City, CA
"Woman in Blue” Oil Painting 53" x 27.5" inch by Katherine Bakhoum Tisné Katherine Bakhoum represents art that has been forgotten for a long while. She draws upon the concept and the subject of the orientalism and the enchantment of that period. Through her work we can feel the researches she has done to reveal her Egyptian origins and the magic and power of the bygone times. Katherine Bakhoum has succeeded in imprinting her own stamp to evoke a new world full of charm, nostalgia and magic that is deeply implanted in her canvas. Her power dwells in creating her own style of contemporary expressionism building upon the old orientalism. Katherine Bakhoum’s art comes up out of an Egyptian childhood and from the distance of a life spent in France. What is left unsaid is as important as what is shown. Decorative yes, as in old orientalism, when everything was texture and what wasn’t texture was veiled, a reincarnation of old spirits, dervishes, orientalist motifs and the stuff of a once powerful civilization, the better to suggest it all might just come to life again. The choice of ancient subject matters, the echo of orientalist pieces in the collages, like the echo of the appeal of ancient gestures, of foreign lands, and domestic tapestries, all this weaves up out of Katherine Bakhoum’s creations. Sometimes we only have the line of a horizon on which to hang our imagination, sometimes we only have the trace of a profile in the shadows. What we always have is a persistent belief in beauty. Where there is beauty, there is hope. Katherine Bakhoum has abandoned neither.

A mixed media painting showing a seated man with tattoos. In “Illustrated Man” we see a single figure, covered in tattoos; portraits, designs, and patterns coat the man's skin from torso to fingertips. His face remains pure, unscathed from any ink marks; clear-headed and gazing forward. Behind him, Miller presents an obscure tapestry of civilization, an empire of sandy structures under a lapis lazuli night sky. Winding roads lead to city walls, while shadows and foundation-lines melt into creatures; a toothy alligator appears out of a stone façade...
