Meaning & Analysis

Painting For Charles Addams is part of the Obituary series. In this series Miller takes obituaries of famous personalities as his starting point. He imbues the images in this series with humour and nostalgia, important features of his artistic practice which are often avoided in contemporary art. Painting For Charles Addams is based on the obituary of Charles Addams, the American artist and cartoonist, known for his dark humour and macabre characters. His most famous work was creating the fictional cartoon household, The Addams Family, a satirical inversion of the ideal 20th-century American family.The print is based on the painting, Painting for Charles Addams (2012) which was exhibited at the White Cube Hoxton Square in 2012 as part of Miller’s exhibition, The Next Life’s On Me.

Miller is most famous for his Penguin prints series which he began in 2001, inspired by the format of the dust jackets of Penguin books. In this iconic series, he appropriates the familiar format and motif of the Penguin title page by coming up with his own ironic, humorous titles. Miller’s humour shines through in this print, reflective of his interest in the relationship between words and images and the disconnect between representation and reality.

  • 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.
