Meaning & Analysis
"International Lonely Guy", the title of this work came straight from the mouth of Sir Elton John, based on the loneliness he experienced waking up in a new city alone, having spent much of his career on the road. Miller draws on this premise in this work, utilising the design he has become synonymous with. The vibrant colour is dirtied by dark smudges which in turn, dirties the off-white borders and black text.
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.
