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 both 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.
