Harland Miller is a British artist born in 1964 in Yorkshire, UK.

Miller is best known for his large-scale, photo-realistic paintings, posters, and prints of vintage Penguin book covers. A critically acclaimed novelist as well as an influential painter, his practice explores the combination of image and text, similar in scope to American artist Ed Ruscha. He invents his own sardonic titles and stamps them with the iconic Penguin logo. Although the painting has the worn character of a used book, it will often convey subversive sociopolitical critiques.

Miller is also a writer: He published his first novel Slow Down Arthur, Stick to Thirty, to critical acclaim in 2000. In the same year he published a novella titled At First I was Afraid, I was Petrified, about obsessive compulsive disorder and based on hundreds taken by a relative of his, all of oven knobs all turned to “Off.”

Harland Miller discusses how his use of text has evolved in his paintings. Watch more form Harland Miller on the White Cube Channel ► http://whitecube.com/channel/channel/artist/harland_miller
