Rendered in white charcoal pencil on papers of various colors JEFF MILLER’s fluidly elegant figure drawings – male nudes in the main – represent a Covid-era departure from JEFF MILLER’s customary practice. No longer able to draw the live model the artist was obliged to step out of the world of 3 dimensions and rely on the 2-dimensional world of photography a resort the artist would previously have strictly shunned. JEFF MILLER says: “To my surprise this loss was also a gain. Online there is an endless supply of highly inspiring images most notable of dancers caught -- often literally -- in mid-flight and otherwise in beautifully complicated attitudes that a model (even a dancer!) could never hold in real life.”
The fruits of JEFF MILLER’s house-bound excursions have been choreographed on the walls of ATLANTIC GALLERY for this show.
As a counterweight to the line drawings in view STEPPING OUT! Includes sculptural works which while contrastingly realistic in treatment nevertheless evince some surprising stylistic continuities with the artist’s graphic productions.
