Artist, writer and archeologist Jim Miller's paintings originate from personal photographs, then he recreates them.  He has coined this method as "photo expressionism" differing from photo realism because it is only a representation of the original photograph.  Thus, we are merely spectators in Mr. Miller's versions of events.  Experiences such as archaeological digs and painting industrial remains of Western Pennsylvania, inspired Mr. Miller to call upon his own historical roots and conjure up self-discovery with this presented collection of works.

Mr. Miller's past life's experiences make a good history read in itself.  He once lived the quiet monastic life at St. Vincent's Benedictine Monastery; after that he took off for New York City to study art; returned to Pennsylvania, started an art commune in an old converted glass factory; lived as the artist-in-residence in the historical home of deceased well-known artist Malcom Parcell, while working on local archeological digs in Washington County.

Mr. Miller is  presently working on a book, Miller's Illustrated, Industrial-Strength Metaphysics .  It is a comment on the gods of organized religion, and a project to pose a metaphysical alternative. He uses his life as a vehicle to tell a story of what he has have learned, and is still learning, about the 'beyond the physical' realm in the course of his life.

28 West Second Gallery & Studio Space exhibits emerging and established local and national artists.  We are dedicated to provide a positive environment for artist representation and expression and to engage the audience through the exploration of art and performance.  28 West Second Gallery and Studio Space is  available for event rental.  Contact the gallery for more information on how to host your next photo shoot, fashion show, reading, lecture, teacher tutorial, etc at the gallery.
