China Heights introduces the debut solo show case by Montana Miller.
Millers paintings use fun, candy-like colours to depict less fun psychological states. They are somewhere between a math equation and confession, trying their best to flirt via miscellany of pretty benign subjects, none of whom belong or want to be near the other.
She grew up on a hill north of Murwillumbah, always around horses. Her last horse was a thoroughbred called Little Boy, he died of Hendra virus. She has always been intrigued by the animals, preferring dressage and show jumping over her minimal high school friends, underage drinking and or boys. At seventeen she moved to Sydney to study at the National Art School. She now lives and paints in Austinmer, mostly just to be near the ocean.
‘Godforsaken is nice too’, deals with the permanence of teenage angst and the pleasures when fantasy and reality are on level pegging.
Miller states, “It’s a few cute paintings, most with horses and seemingly bad things portrayed nicely”.
