Charlie Millar's work spans an extensive range of contemporary art. Works on canvas and paper, collages, still lifes, figurative works, and installations respond to contemporary events, sensibilities, or the particular location of the British artist. In doing so, Millar enters into a dialogue with the viewer of his works, sometimes flattering, sometimes irritating, sometimes provocative, always innovative.
Millar studied in London at the Camberwell University of Art. The renowned institution sees itself as and art and design college. Students here also have access to workshops for traditional craftsmanship. The range of courses also includes modern digital technologies, classical and digital printing techniques. Miller comes into contact with cross-genre working methods here, this will also be noticeable in his works.
The academic training was followed by extended stays abroad. Miller travels to Greece, explores Mali, explores the things that are important to him: Music, faith, and architecture. The watercolors of this phase convey strong emotions, condense the structures of places. Thus, the mud architectures of Djenne, such as the "Great Mosque" or even the "House Tawate" are delicate, subtle watercolors depicting the situation, uniqueness of place and mood. Miller develops the theme further, alienates the architectures, which fade into the background, covered by colored blocks. Mood is now interpreted abstractly, through color and form. He spends two years in Nairobi, two more in Eritrea. He creates bold, abstract works with lush color density. Millar works with clear geometric shapes and blocks; he succeeds in incorporating areas of light with subtle ease. In his native London, the artist devotes himself to collages, linking fragments of drawings, snippets of text, beads and strings to create exciting boards. In the east crypt of Canterbury's venerable cathedral, Millar installs a floor covering made of 308 transparent resin bricks: "All Flesh is Grass". The artist casts these bricks himself. Everyday objects, construction debris, dust, pencils, cross elements, symbols, plant seeds, souvenirs of past travels, images of his paintings are used. A each brick houses a different element, preserved through time in resin, curated into a unique object.
Millar is a creator of interdisciplinary art, he raises bees in the garden, in some of his paintings are consequently traces of honeycombs. He assembles seeds, leaves, objects, cans, nails ... into sculptural collages. The artist's work, the originals, are exhibited exclusively in the UK. A large number of his paintings can be purchased as high-quality prints. Some motifs are even available as stickers or puzzles.
