A funny thing happened on the way to aleatoria...
Somewhere between representation and abstraction, J. Coleman Miller finds a unique brand of surrealist expressionism. Eerie aqueous faces full of angst and passion hidden within diaphanous veils of liquid flesh. Tortured spirits fully embroiled in gaseous infernos. Nebulous glacial prehistoria, infected with fractal reflections and vitreous pathogens. Sultry vaporous nymphs smoldering in the molten pools of aleatoric magma from which the earliest signs of art emerged.
The mysterious images, composed with nothing but a digital camera and moving water, evoke wonder and delight without allowing us to fall victim to our usual inner censor who squelches the child in us and casts judgement based on what is known. Miller's art invites us to see what we don’t yet believe exists.
Miller is the founder of the AleatoricArt Gallery
