Harland Miller’s Pulp Fiction: Textual Sophistication exhibition, showcased at Guy Hepner, invites viewers into a playful yet profound dialogue between visual art and the printed word. Miller, renowned for his reworked Penguin-style book covers, melds mid‑century pop‑art aesthetics with sharp-witted literary references, turning typography into a central character. His bold, oversized titles—often cheeky or provocative—are more than stylistic flair; they pose ironical and cultural critiques that surprise and engage a broad audience
This exhibition highlights how Miller’s textual interventions transform our perception: a simple change in hue or phrasing shifts emotional tone, forging resonance through colour, composition, and wordplay. Each canvas reads like a book you never knew you wanted to read—susceptible to mischief but impossible to ignore. Ultimately, Pulp Fiction: Textual Sophistication reveals Miller as an artist‑author whose visual poetry interrogates the power, paradox, and poetry of language itself.
