Brinda Miller

Biography:
Brinda Miller.- My latest works are of acrylics and mixed media on canvas + paper. They include luminous forms set in tangential planes that shift and slide over the surface. They move like asteroids interfaced by basic forms that intersect with one another, appearing and disappearing as multiple washes give them visual momentum. Forms are worked in translucent layers that involve many techniques that succeed in merging and separating color, volume, line and texture of architectonic rhythm. These tilting planes collectively build a matrix that is meant to capture strong dimensions in compositions to achieve depth growing in its ability to exploit the Modernist tension between the material reality of painting and the imaginary space beyond the picture frame. Embedded within are the abstract idiom references to local histories, while adapting them to accommodate a personal obsession for relentless experimentation– A bright palette, splashes of paint and a unique technique from being spontaneous and free flowing, yet structured .The rich earth chromatic tones touched by an inner glow dominate my canvases. They are colored with vibrancy and are set against jewel tones- rust, oranges and indigo surrounded by swathes of inky black and smoldering reds.
