Bill Miller

Miller creates assemblages from recycled linoleum, using only the found surface to recreate his themes, without added paint. His images range from bucolic landscapes to surreal pieces, fiercely political, often based on iconic images from the news and pop culture that have fed the collective memory of our society. His unexpected use of familiar patterns draws on the nostalgic qualities of his medium, conveying a sense of personal history and rediscovery in each piece. Among Miller’s commissioned works are two album covers for posthumous Frank Zappa records and the 2012 Woodstock Film Festival poster. His work has been exhibited in London, Spain, Australia, and the USA, including a solo exhibition at the cafeteria of the American Visionary Art Museum. He has been featured in numerous magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Chicago Tribune, and is included in various books on recycled art, such as Found Object Art 2 and ReTrash.
