Alice Miller b. 1999, lives and works in Dorset, UK. At once secretive and sincere, her work examines the heightened psychological state born under cover of darkness. Sitting somewhere between a glowing coal and a neon light, each painting seems to simultaneously absorb light and emit one of its own. She draws parallels between the idea of religion and the hedonism of the nighttime social scene, playing with archetypes of light and dark employed by both: rich shadow lures the viewer in, while light often obscures more than it reveals. Figures are held by the detached eye of a phone camera. A fragment of time expands over the painting’s surface as small scale keeps the rest of the story just out of reach.
