For God and Gays Painting

Mich Miller (b. 1992, New York) is a Los Angeles based painter, printmaker, muralist and installation artist. Mich’s practice is informed by a commitment to abstraction and investment in color theory, printmaking, painting, graphic design, queer histories and queer theory. Mich earned their BFA from School of the Artist institute of Chicago in 2015 and received an MFA in Painting&Printmaking from Yale University in 2021. Mich’s works employ saturated color, gradients, shapes, symbols and text -referential of scientific, environmental, and cultural metaphors relevant to their trans identity. Mich’s abstractions place an emphasis on color, pattern and vibration. Their designs push for a playful ambiguity while developed through a personal and in depth research practice. In 2018 they co-founded The Print Shop LA—a collaborative printmaking studio in Los Angeles, which offers internship opportunities, collaborative studio access and artists-in-residence programs. Mich has exhibited work in both solo and group shows nationally, including Lyles & King, New Image Art Gallery, Super Chief Gallery, All Star Press Chicago and Ladies Room. Their work has included collaborations for major media brands such as Pitchfork Music Festival, Vans Skateboarding, Psycho Bunny, and Facebook (through their artist in residency program) . Mich''s suggestive forms, in relation to hard-edged geometric abstraction, continue to develop a vocabulary of shapes and color relationships- referential to landscape, architecture, the body, light, in between spaces, earth, and the universe.
