SWG3 is pleased to present Ill Met By Moonlight by Glasgow-based artist Dan Miller.
Characterised by their juxtaposition of collaged motifs and formal arrangements, the paintings render and accentuate three-dimensional space through the application of mixed media and silkscreened acrylic separations.
Miller’s practice moves fluidly through a wide range of media to create works that investigate the territories of ratio, repetition and scale. Historiographical research and rigorous process support an investigation into the underlying properties of visual and physical material. The resulting works are manipulated through strict methodology and empirical process, occupying the liminal space between digital and analogue platforms.
Ill Met By Moonlight takes Paul Nash’s painting Totes Meer (1940-41) as a conceptual point of departure. The wrecked aircraft depicted in Nash’s original painting informs the figurative and geometric motifs that hover in Miller’s new work. An undulating sea of mothballed technology is abstracted through multiple colour separations and layers, suggesting the possibility of infinite tessellation beyond the picture plane.
