Anthony Miler

American artist Anthony Miler's paintings and drawings depict abstracted human forms that offer a distinctly contemporary perspective while also paying homage to the rich history of modern art. Characterized by loose, sketchy brushstrokes, vibrant colors, and mask-like faces, they evoke associations with the CoBrA group and Willem de Kooning's exploration of the female form in his “Women” series.

Miler has developed his artistic style as a modern interpretation of Art Brut, or Neo-Brut, prioritizing spontaneity and primitive expression amidst the prevalence of precise computer graphics and slick industrial production. In his new series, Miler presents gentle, peaceful compositions depicting landscapes with supple curved lines.
