Artist
Harland Miller
Miller is known for his paintings of vintage Penguin book covers, reimagined with worldly, fictitious titles. Mixing a Pop Art playfulness with fine art sensibilities, the Chelsea College of Art alumnus has also gone on to create memorable collections inspired by psychology books of the 1960s and '70s and the Penguin Plays series. In 2018, BBC Radio Three broadcast a five-part series on Miller's colourful life and the influence it has had on his work.
