GREG MILLER Four Corners

About

Drawing from the diverse cultural and geographic make-up of his American 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 comments, In the '50s I would drive with my dad from Northern California through the San Joaquin Valley because he did a lot of business in Los Angeles," Miller says. "We would drive along the old Highway 99. And the billboards along the way were all ripped and torn. They were old. There was nothing fresh about them. When I would see these posters I would get a sense of history and time. I could see that we're kind of visitors because we're not of that time necessarily but I'm recording it and I'm painting it."௻¿â€Â
