Harland Miller

Harland Miller is a British artist and writer known for paintings and prints that combine book-cover design, bold colour and irreverent humour. Born in Yorkshire in 1964, he studied at Chelsea School of Art, completing his MA in 1988. His debut novel, Slow Down Arthur, Stick to Thirty, was published in 2000. In his Penguin book-cover paintings, invented titles bring literary wit into dialogue with Pop Art and gestural abstraction. His later letter paintings isolate and overlap words, turning typography into an exploration of colour, form and meaning.
