Richard Miller

Camera Paint
Richard Miller's new photographs have taken
turn towards unique abstraction, which take shape in blurred movement by barely recognizable figures and ejects. In Miller's images, what reality is, remains for the viewer to decide. And this is just fine whit Richard: rules and conformity do not interest him. "I don't like to play by the rules in any aspect of my life, this especially holds true with my photography." Perhaps in pursuit of that approach, is why Richard's photographs have turned towards abstraction and obscured perspectives.

To understand Miller's work one should grasp the conceptual intentions, and variable interpretations.His photography can be soft, distinct, minimal,weighty, yet at times contemplated and disturbing. How differing formal amain isolated is the prime example of Richard's photography. It starts as a realistic, concrete composition taken from a
photographic source, but Richard disrupts the image's simplicity by creating a contradiction of artistic manners. Richard doesn't mind jumbling wordplay with meanings, as many artist do, and why not? Part of the fun of being an artist is to interpret to the world what you are attempting to create. It's never easy to do.
