Meaning & Analysis

Win is a 2024 offset lithograph by Harland Miller, created in celebration of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The work adopts the visual language of vintage book covers, a recurring device in Miller’s practice, but strips away the usual layers of irony. The cover depicts a field of colours, broken into blocks of red, green, pink, and blue that seem to recall both national flags and abstract painting. The composition is clean, direct, and rhythmically structured, echoing the graphic clarity of mid-century sports posters.

While Win marks a departure from Miller’s satirical Penguin series, it remains rooted in his interest in how words function visually. Win operates as both slogan and provocation: a single word, loaded with cultural weight, presented without commentary. It reflects on the idealism, and pressure, attached to competition, achievement, and national pride. There’s no punchline here, just a flat declaration open to interpretation. In its stripped-back form, Win lets the viewer supply the subtext, offering a pared-down but resonant addition to Miller’s wider body of work.

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.
