Meaning & Analysis

LUV is part of Harland Miller's Letter Paintings series, focusing on language as both form and subject. Set against a vibrant background, the composition features large, overlapping letters in varying shades of red, pink, and purple, their saturated tones bleeding slightly into one another.

In LUV, Miller continues his examination of how language can operate visually, not just semantically. The bold typography and limited palette draw attention to rhythm, weight, and repetition rather than literal meaning. While the title evokes something immediate and emotive, its presentation feels deliberate and detached, inviting a slower, more reflective reading. First shown as part of a 2019 exhibition at White Cube Hong Kong, this series approaches text as image - distilled, abstracted, and open-ended.

British artist, Harland Miller, is renowned for his irreverent reimagining of vintage Penguin book jackets. Playing with nostalgia, cultural, and literary references, the artist combines Pop Art motifs with the brushstrokes of Abstract Expressionism. Miller's paintings and prints are often imbued with dark humour, with works such as You Can Rely On Me I'll Always Let You Down being characterised by an undercurrent of satire and self-depreciation. Exploring the relationship between word and image has undoubtedly allowed Miller's art to comment on the frequent disconnect between representation and reality, and influence artists such as The Connor Brothers in their practice.
