"Greg Miller: Over Time"

Comments (0) By Meredith Deliso Thursday, Jun 14 2012

Greg Miller often gets grouped with the Shepard Faireys and Banksys of the art world, though what the post-pop artist does is quite the opposite of the famed street artists.

More About

Miller doesn't go out and tag walls (he considers himself "something of an environmentalist" he says as way of explanation in a recent interview with L.A. writer Peter Frank). Rather, he brings the outside in by recreating walls layered and aged by advertising and graffiti through sculptural paintings that are composed of airbrushed images, drips of paint, pages from mid-20th century novels and ads.

The artist, who splits time between L.A. and Austin, presents 12 new paintings that do just that in "Greg Miller: Over Time" his first solo show in Texas currently up at Peveto Gallery. These works represent a new direction for the artist, a favorite in L.A. circles for his cool, slick pop art paintings of swimming beauties and pop iconography (he's even been commissioned by film directors to create parting gifts for casts, most recently for Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained).
Tuesdays-Saturdays, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Starts: Jan. 31. Continues through March 9, 2013
