Gerold Miller creates minimal and abstract visual experiences investigating the fundamental elements of painting and sculpture in an attempt to pinpoint where sculptural space ends and the painted image begins. This project sees him oscillate between image, relief, sculpture, and architecture, all radically (and precisely) reduced to a composition of colour, line, shape and form. Miller's 'paintings' utilise an aluminium or stainless steel base, coated in either matte or glossy lacquer to present finely shaded gradients and bold monochromatic tones — including his notorious Set,_Instant Vision _and _Total Object _series. While his 'sculptures', such as the _Monoform _and _Verstärker _series, talk more directly to architecture, dimension (height, length and depth) and the concept of an open structure; opposing a defined and enclosed geometrical form, these works reject spatial boundaries and emphasise infiniteness. Miller's practice is one of space and time, stagnancy and movement, subject and object, where viewer and work merge into one unified artwork.
