John Miller has produced a varied oeuvre that includes painting, sculpture, photography and video. With empathy, humour, and insightful observation, Miller plunges into the maelstrom of everyday life to distill the commonplace and the “normal”. While a lot of Miller’s previous works had to do with the interrogation of value in a capitalist society and the disparities between the price and the meaning of something, his more recent projects offer at once critical and poetic representations of emotional affect, its relationship to bio-power and its impact on individuals.
For Miller, television remains primary source of mass cultural representation. Their muted pallet of greys and browns removes the images from the tacky glimmer of the mass media and renders them as handpainted artifacts. A few years ago, while executing a series of paintings depicting game shows (1998-2000), John Miller focused on the colorfully designed sets contrasting with the seemingly interchangeable participants. Clearly demarkating itself from this type of programming, reality television claims to focus on individuals and real life, but Miller chose to represent the moment when it all collapses.

Julie Oppermann’s recent series of paintings explore the contemporary idea of interference in relation to how information is disseminated, transmitted, and ultimately perceived, using painted moiré patterns created by overlapping multiple layers of nearly identical line patterns. Drawing from her background in Neuroscience, interest in perception and cognition, and study in Color Theory, her brightly colored, scintillating paintings recall the psychedelic, while maintaining a strong conceptual rigor. Oppermann’s systematic and rule-based process is matched by her impulsive and intuitive approach, resulting in uncanny, often unsettling decisions that set up compelling tensions within the work. The exhibition will present works ranging from very large paintings on canvas to medium sized works on aluminum and monoprints on paper highlighting Oppermann’s investigation of materials within her particular process.

Manchester based painter Andrews has created a series of works, under the collective title of Mythopoeia, in direct response to some of the historic paintings on show at Warrington Art Gallery. The museum’s curator writes‘In putting together this show we set out to facilitate a dialogue between specific works in the Museum’s collection and contemporary painting practice. A non verbal conversation between the past and the present that involves a conscious listening to and re-examining of what has gone before with the hope of arriving at some new understanding of that which has become familiar.’
In collaboration with the writer Joanne Reardon Lloyd, Andrews has found ways of exploring and retelling the original paintings. The narratives of Folk and Faery Tales with their themes of oral greed, synaesthesia and transformation feature heavily in the works, as do the experiences of Andrews’ work as an Art Psychotherapist. There is a limited edition catalogue available, with essays by the painter Graham Crowley and art critic Edward Lucie Smith.
