Geoff Miller is a celebrated multi-media artist, born, raised, and currently residing and working in Upstate New York. Miller began his artistic career focusing on photography, intrigued by the abstraction of architecture, its role as living sculpture and questioning how these spaces influence our collective psyche and the greater social cohesion of communities. As the convergence of color and texture became increasingly more principal to his photography, Miller experimented between processes and mediums. Honing in on painting, he explored the role that color can play in communication, specifically, can color in and of itself be used as a vernacular. Miller’s current work is decidedly expressionist: abstract bordering on non-representational, intending to convey human emotions rather than a discernible subject, leaving the intent and meaning subjective to the viewer. 

In his ongoing series, “Tropius,” Miller explores visual deficits set against the longstanding principles of the Bauhaus. Reduced to perfunctory tenants of color, surface and architecture, Miller creates works that inhabit the passage of time. Like a rusted beam left over from decades of neglect, Miller reimagines architectural elements and artifacts to create rich and emotive compositions that are complex in their layered and painterly style.

Miller holds a degree from Siena College and attended The Fashion Institute of Technology, The Arts Students League, and kept a studio in Milan, Italy where he attended open studio classes, produced work in preparation for private showings and was an active part of the art and design community.

Miller’s work is held in private collections in both the US and Europe, with his large-scale paintings hanging in corporate collections. Actively sought after for private commissions, he has been exhibited in Italy and New York, with an honorary exhibit held at his alma mater.
