Artist Nick Miller Launches 'David's Diary' Column on Artcritical

publication · 2026-04-23

Artist Nick Miller has launched a new column titled 'David's Diary' on Artcritical, with the first entry published as the lights began to flicker. The 80-year-old artist made his London debut earlier this year. Miller is the father of Irish painter Nick Miller, who currently has work on display at the Concord Art Association. Miller's artistic approach incorporates images of his working space into his landscapes, a technique that draws viewers into his creative process. This method parallels how Henri Matisse included self-representations in his drawings and paintings created in Nice during the 1920s and 1930s. The column appears on Artcritical's website under the Miller|Nick Archives section.
