Harland Miller — Death, What's in it for Me?
Harland Miller

Death, What's in it for Me?

A bold screenprint combining Miller's signature Penguin Books-inspired typography with layers of hand-applied oil and acrylic paint, creating a richly textured surface that bridges the gap between print and painting. The work's sardonic title is rendered in the style of a vintage paperback cover, inviting the viewer to contemplate mortality through Miller's characteristic blend of dark humor and literary wit.

Medium
Screenprint in colours with extensive hand-colouring in oil and acrylic, on Somerset paper, the full sheet,
