Meaning & Analysis

Miller is evidently influenced by Pop art, figurative art and abstraction in this print. However, in line with the spirit of Penguin books, Miller’s titles are characterised by universally recognizable narratives, seasoned with a touch of tragi-comedy. Another example of this direct and sardonic literary style can be noted in the work, You Can Rely On Me I’ll Always Let You Down.

The artist captures perfectly the three dimensionality of the object on canvas, but attributes the text in the middle greater significance in communicating his message. Furthermore, Miller’s conscious choice of colouring grants the words a sense of levity, demythologising and softening their impact. Accordingly, the cerise and white design allows for a relaxed discussion around the topic of the afterlife, making Death What's In It For Me? more accessible for the public.

  • 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.
