Easton Miller: Feel Too Hard

Opening Reception: Saturday January 13th 2018 5-9pm

BasketShop Gallery is pleased to be hosting Easton Miller for his first exhibition in Ohio. Miller is a prolific painter, writer and curator. He was also a pioneer in the alternative gallery scene in Chicago when he opened his first artist-run space THRONES in 2007 and has subsequently opened another recent venture named ALSO in Los Angeles.

Miller is a very energetic art producer that takes his inspiration from quips of conversations that he writes down in a journal. He then creates individual paintings that correlate to those notations using a variety of material. He has recently focused on the subject of hands as a personal allegory for art making and as a composition device commonly known as a “view-finder”. The iconography of the thumb and forefinger to capture a scene expands beyond the boundaries of a focal point so that it completely explodes past the visual framework and off of the edges of the canvas.

For his show FEEL TOO HARD at BasketShop, Miller has constructed a soft, fabric installation that utilizes another trope found in his visual lexicon of a chain-link fence. The chain-link pattern simultaneously addresses Miller’s emphasis on materials while also invoking an endless array of “view-finders” that mimic the artist’s desire to go beyond boundaries.

Easton Miller is currently living and working in Los Angeles, CA.  Miller received his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a double major in fine arts and art history.  His work has been exhibited internationally, including exhibitions at Ninapi Gallery, Ravenna, Italy, Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, Germany, CES Gallery in Los Angeles, CA, Laguna Art Museum in Laguna, CA, Dallas Art Fair, Dallas, TX and others.  Reviews include Daily Serving, Nylon Magazine and the Huffington Post.  Miller curated the inaugural exhibition Trust Fall at the new Los Angeles gallery ALSO.
