Publisher's Synopsis
Reflectionist artist JD Miller has been perfecting his style of 3-dimensional oil painting for 25 years, from his first painting translations of classical works by artists like Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, and Paul Gaugin, to the creation and evolution of his own style. Miller imbues his prismatic work with a spirit of positive energy, love, peace, and joy as a fulfillment of his Reflectionist philosophy. Within Reflectionism, Miller calls upon the universal vibrations of light and sound to flow through him to allow for the molding of oil paint, a unique process that distinguishes him from other artists. Miller creates impactful, strong, and enlivening canvases that take their viewer on an existential journey. The title of this book, Reflections from Dragon Street, relates to Miller's powerful collection of work created since moving into the Samuel Lynne Galleries' studio located at 1105 Dragon Street in Dallas. Included are many of Miller's popular series, which date from 2008 to the present. This comprehensive survey of Miller's work has been produced in the spirit of Reflectionism and shows the progression of his prolific career.
