About Gill Miller

 
 
  • Biography
    Gill Miller grew up in the American Midwest in the 1970's & 80's, and comes from a family of designers and artists. Professionally, he followed the design route; never did he entertain the idea of becoming an artist until after he moved to Los Angeles, California in late 2003. It is here that he felt the influence of the hyper-artistic culture of the city that brought out in him a hidden desire to explore his artistic language. 

    The light and color of Southern California are an influential and iconic presence in visual culture. Gill takes an energetic and vibrant approach to this aesthetic in his series "Urban Summer". Here, he considers his personal relationship with his environment and landscape, and how this has shifted his perspective on his art and on his own life.

    Gill has exhibited in over one dozen exhibitions in Los Angeles and San Francisco in the last nine years. In 2012 he produced a number of paintings for a short film titled PASTE, for AFI, The American Film Institute.

    In 2014, Gill was accepted into the Los Angeles Art Association.
