Cynthia Miller Exhibition
CUE Art Foundation
This event has ended.
With a combination of poetic symbolism and a rich color-palette, Arizona-based artist Cynthia Miller creates work that is both visually
engaging and emotionally contemplative. The viewer quickly finds themselves on an exotic journey through colors, sights and movements in her imaginative landscapes and fanciful figures. The flattened perspectives and non-local colors hark back to the work of such post-impressionist painters as Gauguin and Cezanne as well as Fauvist work by Matisse and Derain, but with a distinctively “American”
slant.
Miller states that she “examines the language of painting in the immediacy of daily life.” Pulling inspiration from William Morris’ wallpaper, Guatemalan poetry, Ukrainian Folk art and Native American textiles, her mainly horizontal paintings are as layered in influence as they are in elements of acrylic paint, chalk, oil paintsticks and
graphite.
On view at CUE Art Foundation, Cynthia Miller’s first solo exhibition in New York City, are 14 paintings that showcase the artist’s work from the past decade. The progression of her art tells not only a story of the American Southwest, but the emotive and universal concepts of the passing of time.
