Halfsheet poster for artist and writer
Harland Miller's 2016 solo exhibition Tonight We Make History (P.S. I Can't Be There) at the Blain|Southern gallery in Berlin. The featured artwork, titled "Happiness: The Case Against", is a work that parodies self-help manuals and explores the relationship between words and images.
Artwork Information
Artist: Harland Miller
Title: Happiness: The Case Against
Year: The print version was created in 2017. The original painting was shown in the 2016 exhibition.
Medium: The print is a polymer-gravure with photo-etching and woodcut in colors.
Style and Meaning: Miller's work often blends Pop Art influences with abstract expressionism and his background as a writer. This piece is inspired by the graphic, geometric covers of 1960s and 1970s psychology books. It uses a central, seemingly three-dimensional cube illusion against a turquoise background to comment on the disconnect between representation and reality, all while employing his characteristic dark humor.
Exhibition: The poster advertises the exhibition at Blain|Southern, located on Potsdamer Str. 77-87, Berlin. |
