Harland Miller is a prominent British artist and writer, widely recognized for his large-scale, vibrant paintings that merge the aesthetics of abstract art with a sharp, literary wit. Born in Yorkshire in 1964, Miller began his career as a writer, publishing his debut novel, Slow Down Arthur, Stick to Thirty, in 2000. This literary background heavily informs his visual work, which typically features oversized canvases designed to look like vintage Penguin paperbacks.

His distinctive style involves creating the illusion of a worn book cover, complete with faux creases, coffee stains, and an aged patina. He uses these familiar, nostalgic formats as a canvas for his own sardonic and often humorous titles, such as "Incurable Romantic Seeks Dirty Woman" or "I Am The One I’ve Been Waiting For." These titles often play on themes of self-help culture, the human condition, and popular clichés.

Miller's work gained significant traction in the early 2000s and quickly became a staple in contemporary art galleries worldwide. His art is collected by high-profile individuals and institutions. While his paintings often utilize a pop art sensibility in their appropriation of existing design, they maintain a painterly quality that gives each piece unique texture and depth. Miller lives and works in London, continuing to explore the intersection of text and image, solidifying his unique position in the contemporary art world as both an acclaimed painter and a published author.
