SHANE MILLER: DESIDERIUM

The Rymer Gallery / 233 5th Ave. N. June 1, 2017 - July 1, 2017

Shane Miller

Working in oil and wax on board and canvas, Shane builds into his dreamscapes a reverence for past memories. His paintings evoke feelings of nostalgia and melancholy, leaving the viewer pondering their own memories. The DESIDERIUM exhibit will have on display two distinct styles of Shane’s work: traditional oil on canvas works, and oil and encaustic works on board. Both styles of work carry Shane’s signature technique of depicting brooding landscapes, reminiscing of Turner and Whistler’s haunting paintings.
Hailing from Western Maryland, Shane began his immersion with the arts early, balancing his interest in music and experimentation with paint mediums ranging from watercolor, acrylic, and eventually oil and encaustic. Shane's work shows his depth of creative influence and his ability to summon emotions in a nostalgic, reflective manner. His work is constantly reminiscent of dreams, memories, and silent emotions left unexpressed. Since 2014, Shane has spent most days in his Nashville studio experimenting with new techniques and artistic visions, developing his complex process of layering oil and wax to create thought-provoking landscapes.
