Gerold Miller's First Solo Show at Dep Art Milan

Gerold Miller (born 1961 in Altshausen) presents his first solo exhibition at Dep Art in Milan, curated by Frank Boehm. The show features twenty new works with enameled, polished surfaces treated with industrial paints on metal supports. Miller's practice explores the intersection of art and technology, evoking a sense of pacification between artistic demands and technical contributions. His works recall Roland Barthes' concept of mythical objects—smooth, perfect, and magically alluring. The exhibition highlights four distinct series: Set (wall works with rigid forms that reorganize visual space), Instant Vision (experimenting with immediate perception and reflective surfaces), Profil (emphasizing contours and the relationship between thickness, edge, and wall), and Verstärker (amplifying light, reflection, color contrast, and depth). These series form a coherent vocabulary of formal strategies—scenography, perceptual capture, edge definition, and perceptual intensification—that challenge the boundaries between painting, object, and frame. Miller's work crystallizes Neo Geo and distills Pop art into a frozen, aniconic rigor.
