The light and color of Southern California are an influential and iconic presence in visual culture. Gill takes an energetic and vibrant approach to this aesthetic in his series “Urban Summer/Urban Winter”. Here, he considers his personal relationship with his environment and landscape, and how this has shifted his perspective on his art and on his own life.
Gill Miller grew up in the American Midwest in the 1970’s & ’80’s, where he comes from a family of designers and artists. Professionally, he followed the design route; never did he entertain the idea of becoming an artist until after he moved to Los Angeles, California in late 2003. It is here that he felt the influence of the hyper-artistic culture of the city that brought out in him a hidden desire to explore his artistic language.
His education includes Pre-Architecture, Graphic Design and Interior Design from the University of KS, Lawrence, U.S.
