ATLANTIC GALLERY is pleased to presents STEPPING OUT! New Drawings & Sculpture by JEFF MILLER.

Rendered in white charcoal pencil on papers of various colors, JEFF MILLER’s fluidly elegant figure drawings – male nudes, in the main – represent a Covid-era departure from JEFF MILLER’s customary practice.  No longer able to draw the live model, the artist was obliged to step out of the world of 3 dimensions and rely on the 2-dimensional world of photography, a resort the artist would previously have strictly shunned. JEFF MILLER says: “To my surprise, this loss was also a gain. Online, there is an endless supply of highly inspiring images, most notable of dancers caught — often literally — in mid-flight, and otherwise in beautifully complicated attitudes that a model (even a dancer!) could never hold in real life.”

The fruits of JEFF MILLER’s house-bound excursions have been choreographed on the walls of ATLANTIC GALLERY for this show.

As a counterweight to the line drawings in view, STEPPING OUT! Includes sculptural works which, while contrastingly realistic in treatment, nevertheless evince some surprising stylistic continuities with the artist’s graphic productions.
