Artwork Description

Dan Miller's art is a graphic communication made in the moment. His paintings and drawings convey thoughts recorded and repeatedly overdrawn until the imagery forms a visual cloud with a seemingly audible presence. Miller's works are compulsively made and abstract--gestural expressions that use color, density, and scale to convey the ideas and feelings that Miller, who is on the autistic spectrum, is unable to express verbally.
