Throughout his career, John Miller has pursued an ambitious and cross-disciplinary
investigation into so-called middlebrow culture and artifice-laden consumer
societies. His recent relief sculptures and installations feature gilded junk—found
Styrofoam, plastic objects, and discarded wood tables overlaid with gold leaf. The
works reference the decadence of our current moment and speak to the instability
of cultural and economic excess. He has presented major exhibitions at Museum
Ludwig, Cologne, Germany; Kunsthalle Zurich, Switzerland; and Contemporary Art
Centre, Vilnius, Lithuania.
