The Glasshouse Mill Series by Hugh Miller
These paintings, called the Glasshouse Mills Series, will be in the British capital as part of a sponsored exhibition that takes place from May 17-23, 2011 at the Truman Brewery. Art viewers will experience a novel perception of landscape painting, creating a unique environment in which people will admire a new sense of enthusiasm of experimental modern painting. The exhibition aims to address the ideas of ‘illusional'environments (like a DNA testing office in central London), manipulating the beauty of locations in real-life and attempting to personify the aesthetic beauty of landscape art through romance, energy and size. Hugh Miller says the value of the exhibition is in its grandeur and how it celebrates subject-matter and craft with a new style. He cites the cherry blossom from ‘Memoirs of A Geisha as one of his inspirations for the project. His trips to the waterfalls of Betws-y-Code in North Wales are also noted as one of the motivations for his paintings.
Hugh Miller was educated at the Chelsea College of Art & Design, where he graduated in 1997. So far, he has produced numerous paintings which have received critical appraisal from art critics. Some of his work has been commissioned by the Association of Newspapers and has been exhibited by prestigious companies including Swiss Bank and Barclays Bank. A painting of Paddy Ashdown was even commissioned by the Liberal Democrats. Some of his most famous exhibitions include the ‘Lune Valley Artworks’, the ‘Pursuit of the Aesthetic'and the ‘Trough of Bowland’.
