Richard
Miller
Camera Paint
Richard Miller's new photographs have taken
turn towards unique abstraction, which take
shape in blurred movement by barely recognizable
figures and ejects. In Miller's images, what
reality is, remains for the viewer to decide.
And this is just fine whit Richard: rules
and conformity do not interest him. "I
don't like to play by the rules in any aspect
of my life, this especially holds true with
my photography." Perhaps in pursuit of
that approach, is why Richard's photographs
have turned towards abstraction and obscured
perspectives.
To understand Miller's work one should grasp
the conceptual intentions, and variable interpretations.His
photography can be soft, distinct, minimal,weighty,
yet at times contemplated and disturbing.
How differing formal amain isolated is the
prime example of Richard's photography. It
starts as a realistic, concrete composition
taken from a
photographic source, but Richard disrupts
the image's simplicity by creating a contradiction
of artistic manners. Richard doesn't mind
jumbling wordplay with meanings, as many artist
do, and why not? Part of the fun of being
an artist is to interpret to the world what
you are attempting to create. It's never easy
to do.
