Jeff Miller “The Overcoat & The Fan: Sculpture & Drawings”
Atlantic Gallery
This event has ended.
Jeff Miller’s fourth exhibit at Atlantic Gallery features a series of figurative sculptures, each involving a male nude, with representations of a fan and a very large overcoat. The show also includes portrait busts, and an array of epigrammatic figure and portrait drawings.
Wit is the keynote of Jeff Miller’s work, both two and three-dimensional. The sculptures, all modeled from life and cast principally in plaster and some in bronze, combine a refinement of finish with an elegance of gesture and liveliness of expression. For the four male nudes with overcoat and fan, the artist employed the same model, whose formal portrait bust is also exhibited. The figures stand 26” in height and the busts are life-size. The drawings, also from life, employ a calligraphic line of great spontaneity and a highly personal graphic vocabulary. The drawings take the viewer’s eye on a roller coaster ride around, across and through the figures –– mostly male nudes –– and by means of elision, prompt the eye to supply what the artist’s hand has chosen to omit.
Jeff Miller has been exhibiting at the Atlantic Gallery since 2008, and has recently shown drawings at the Leslie-Lohman Museum’s Prince Street Gallery in New York City. For more of the artist’s work, please visit www.JeffMillerDrawings.com.
