Harland Miller’s Incurable Romantic Seeks Dirty Filthy Whore exemplifies his signature style of blending text with visual art. The screenprint features a reimagined Penguin book cover, utilising faded typography and an ageing colour palette to evoke a sense of nostalgia and humour. Miller's technique draws inspiration from Pop Art icons such as Ed Ruscha, merging literary and visual elements into a cohesive narrative. The artwork's provocative title challenges societal norms and reflects the artist's penchant for irony. Part of Miller's celebrated Penguin series, this piece engages viewers with its playful critique of literary culture.
British artist, Harland Miller, is renowned for his irreverent reimagining of vintage Penguin book jackets. Playing with nostalgia, cultural, and literary references, the artist combines Pop Art motifs with the brushstrokes of Abstract Expressionism. Miller's paintings and prints are often imbued with dark humour, with works such as You Can Rely On Me I'll Always Let You Down being characterised by an undercurrent of satire and self-depreciation. Exploring the relationship between word and image has undoubtedly allowed Miller's art to comment on the frequent disconnect between representation and reality, and influence artists such as The Connor Brothers in their practice.
