Michael Miller’s work is characterized by textural richness, the interplay of
transparency and opacity, and a deliberate ambiguity in spatial representation. It
asks questions about truth and deception, revelation and concealment, and
history and memory. It often draws on the visual vocabulary of camouflage,
including disruptive “dazzle” patterns applied to shipping in the early years of
the last century.

Miller was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and trained in painting and drawing in
Italy, Switzerland, Mozambique and the Art Students League of New York,
USA. He holds a PhD in contemporary history from the European University
Institute in Florence, Italy. Miller is also a long-standing supporter of human
rights, and has published work on a range of issues including violence against
children, gender-based violence, and the prevention of torture.
Miller currently lives and works in Brooklyn, where he has a studio in Crown
Heights. He is represented by Jeeum Gallery in Hong Kong and South Korea.
