Dep Art Gallery presents Gerold Miller. Works, the German artist's first solo exhibition at the gallery, in Milan from September 30 to December 20. Curated by Frank Boehm, the exhibition features a selection of 20 works created specifically for the occasion, showcasing the latest developments in Miller's artistic production.

Gerold Miller's artistic work defies simple classification and challenges our vision and understanding. To describe his mode of expression as a reduced formal language would be accurate in a general sense, but at the same time points in the wrong direction. Miller does not repeat processes of abstraction towards concentration, as was sufficiently achieved in early modernism. At the same time, Konkrete Kunst (Concrete Art), which is closer in terms of time and content, is not a point of reference either.

Already during his studies in the 1980s, he developed his work in groups and series based on a radical conceptual foundation, allowing himself moments of intuition. Following the lines of development of the resulting works, one recognises a diversity and outstanding openness in the context of his self-imposed principles. Gerold Miller's works, as has been described many times, operate at the boundary between image and body. Working without romanticism, he uses artistic techniques that can be classified as sculpture. At the same time, the formats and installations of his works, as well as his focus on the edge and the frame, refer to the tradition of panel painting.

As viewers, we experience a paradox: through works that are very precisely positioned in space and entirely in the real and the present, we can, on the one hand, recall the entire pictorial history of our culture, while on the other hand, we look into an indeterminate and open space of vision.

The exhibition presents recent works from the wall-mounted groups set, instant vision, Profil (profile) and the work Verstärker (amplifier), which is positioned freely in the space. Conceived in close collaboration with the artist, the exhibition will be accompanied by the publication of a bilingual Italian-English volume containing all the artworks on display and a text by curator Frank Boehm, which comprehensively outlines the development of Gerold Miller's work.
