Born in 1942 in London, David Miller studied sculpture at the London School of Fine Arts, then pursued graphic design studies in Brighton. With his diploma in hand, he decided to turn toward ceramic art. From 1970 to 1989, he taught this discipline in England, Brazil, Canada, the USA… One loses oneself with delight in the intricate network of his graphic play — those black lines that float above the torrential invasion of brilliant colors, like so many symbols of creative vitality and infectious joy. How can one not think of Pollock or the New York graffiti artists when looking more closely at his decorations… “David Miller was someone who crossed boundaries. And not only in a geographical sense, as he had done when moving from England to France. Equally talented in sculpture, painting, and ceramics, the rigid categories of the arts or the classification into ‘modern’ or ‘traditional’ were not contradictions for him — no hierarchies, no incompatibilities. He, who had once studied sculpture and ceramics in London and graphic design in Brighton, was as modern as he was traditional, as much an applied artist as a fine artist. He moved comfortably among the genres and techniques he mastered so expertly and could combine with perfect ease. It was in these different fields that he found his own path, the one that made him unique. After his first pieces — low-temperature salt-fired vessels with lightly engraved decoration — he began, around 1980 in France, to work in raku, creating containers and non-containers decorated with brushwork, marked by his very distinctive gesture. He then continued with wood-fired pieces. At the same time, he began a beautiful production of glazed earthenware, covered with free painting, with luminous, colorful decoration — as artistic as it was traditional, as absolute as it was functional. His work was always defined by an unmistakable and characteristic aesthetic, and his exhibitions inevitably became highlights in the gallery world.” — Marianne Heller
