ARTIST BIO
A funny thing happened on the way to aleatoria...
Fascinated by the great masters of the early 20th century, particularly the Dadist movement and especially those few who used chance methods in the commission of their works, fine art photographer J. Coleman Miller has created a new twist on aleatoric composition. When Miller photographs the swirling colors of Koi and reflections that dance on the rippling surface of a clear pond, surreal and magical images come to life in every form. Most of the limited edition photographs are beautifully presented as gloss laminated inkjet prints, and a few are done using plexi on polished aluminum. All works are signed and numbered by the artist in limited editions of 25.
J Coleman Miller is a lifelong artist and musician from Pennsylvania who works primarily in photography, and has worked in the portrait, fashion and product industry since 1986. Also a graphic artist and expert Photoshop technician, Miller makes fine portraits of over six thousand preschool children every year in Houston, Texas, and his In Focus Photography has raised large amounts of money for Houston early learning programs over the last 20 years. At home, original art surrounds the artist in the form of his collection of giclee and inkjet photographic prints, handmade furniture, intricate tile and mosaics, great dishes from the kitchen and modern original rock music from the studio with his band SiennaBlu.
J Coleman Miller is represented by Artist Haven Gallery in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
See the new collection at the artist's reception on December 4, 2010 at Artist Haven Gallery.
