Garry Fabian Miller, one of the UK’s most progressive artists, has created a series of spectacular new work, presented for the first time in London this autumn in The Colour of Time, at HackelBury Fine Art. Widely perceived as Fabian Miller’s most ambitious and engaging work to date, the monumental scale of works such as The Beckoning I and II shown below marks a significant advance in his unique visual language, formed over a 30 year career.
September also sees the publication of a beautiful new hard-cover book The Colour of Time, available with a limited edition framed photograph. Concurrently Shadow Catchers: Camera-less Photography opens at the nearby Victoria & Albert Museum, the first UK museum exhibition of contemporary camera-less photographs, including a retrospective selection of work by Garry Fabian Miller and a further two new large-scale pieces.
Whilst walking on the moor close to Garry Fabian Miller’s home and studio in Devon, he pointed out the distant circle of an early settlement ingrained in the hillside; an ancient reminder of the very first marks made by man. The desire to describe ourselves, our place in the world and our relationship to the forces of the sun, moon and Earth has been a constant of human existence; no image forgets this history. The cumulative knowledge of a life’s work is reflected in the clarity and strength of these striking new works, directly connected to that history. Fabian Miller achieves here his aspiration that "the object which appears should come with a grace and simplicity, as if it has always been there, just like breathing”.
