Did You Know?

Miller's art began to attract attention in Japan shortly before his untimely death.

Description

Scott Miller belonged to a generation of artists inspired by cartoons and graffiti. Untitled, which features a man floating amid intestines and accompanied by animals, suggests vulnerability and mortality, and the concept of one’s place in the universe. The artist’s imagery during this period likely references his identity as a gay man living through the deadliest years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
