Chuck Miller is a 6th generation native Texan. He worked as a commercial artist and designer for over 30 years, He now paints full time in his studio with his wife, also an artist, their dog “Gus” and more cats than Hemingway.

 

STATEMENT

Chuck has created art for as long as he can remember. He has always been fascinated with the human form. Although he paints primarily nudes he prefers to show the viewer more than is actually there. His work is about what is not seen rather than what is actually portrayed on the canvas. Once asked if he considers his work sexual or erotic he replied, “I don’t paint girls, I paint mature strong beautiful women with curves and experience. I don’t subscribe to society’s perception of what is considered sexy, but I do have a view on what I consider beautiful, classic and strong and I try to show that in my work.”

Mikaela Sardo Lamarche, ACA Galleries

Ms. Lamarche also nominated “Repose”, an oil by Chuck Miller of Corsicana, TX. This large work could be a lesson for all artists. With a minimum of detail, the figure is solid and the ground is solid as it appears to move away in space: a masterful performance.

 

Selection by Margot Luftig, Salmagundi Club

“Beauty is in the Eye....” Ms. Luftig especially admired his skill with the anatomy, finish and placement of the art, and she mentioned that it reminded her of Jennie Saville or Lucien Freud.
