Harland Miller gets personal with his novel painting in this new limited edition silkscreen print, in support of York Museums Trust.

Part of Harland's satirical spins on the publishing world, which he's become renowned for, York So Good They Named It Once sees the artist turn his attention to the region he calls home.

While a work in its own right, the printers at Make-Ready have translated the texture and detail of the original to a 27-colour print of incredible fidelity and quality. Harland's brushstrokes, and even a strand of hair suspended in paint, are captured in the edition.

A title is seductive by design. Harland Miller’s work with text turns this truth into art. He began working with text as part of a series of paintings based on the book jackets associated with the literary genre commonly known in the USA as 'pulp fiction' and in the UK as 'tin pan alley' or 'penny dreadfuls.' The original paintings were in fact fairly painstaking reproductions of the dust covers he'd collected in the UK but it was after moving to Paris that these early appropriations developed into more personal formations or 'takes' on the idea of painting books or, put another way, books as a subject for paintings.
