American painter
Scott Miller (December 24, 1955 – May 18, 2008)[2] was an American painter based in Cleveland, Ohio.
The Cleveland Museum of Art characterized Miller and his art this way:
Miller belonged to a generation of postmodern artists inspired by cartoons and graffiti. Untitled, which features a male figure floating amid viscera and accompanied by animals, suggests vulnerability and mortality, and the concept of one’s place in the universe. The artist’s imagery during this period likely references his identity as a gay man living through the deadliest years of the AIDS pandemic.[3]
Education and career
Miller graduated from Fairview High School in Sherwood, Ohio.[2] He studied from 1974 to 1978 at the Cooper School of Art and at the Cleveland Institute of Art from 1980 to 1983.
