Constructed Realities // Press Release

Constructed Realities is about how space is being produced and constructed. In this new body of work Miller depicts the world not just as a given but as a construction of a physical, virtual and mental net where the significance and intensity of shapes and colors seem to play a major role.This is a territory of tensions where depth competes with the surface, a density is complementedby a sense of void, and the inside is constantly challenged by a dominant exteriority. Oscillation between two-dimensional, three-dimensional and beyond-dimensional forms is at the core ofGrant Miller’s paintings. They are an expression of liberation of a form on the way towards hybrid, multiply constructions. Uncanny in their playfulness and ironic in their quasi-nonchalant gesture of openness, they bring an anxiety which productively shakes an established order and convention
