Harland Miller
Harland Miller is a British artist and author who is best known for his large-scale, photo-realistic paintings, posters, and art prints of vintage Penguin book covers. A critically acclaimed novelist as well as an influential painter, his wall art explores the combination of image and text.
The covers he paints often feature his own invented, sardonic titles combined with the iconic Penguin logo. His muted tones and brushstrokes imbue his canvases with the worn character of a used book, yet often convey subversive critiques. Born in 1964 in Yorkshire, United Kingdom, Miller received both his BA and MA from the Chelsea College of Art in London. His solo exhibitions include those held at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, among others.
