John Miller created "Towards the Bay" using paint to render a landscape in an expressionistic style. The composition is dominated by swathes of green, suggesting a field leading towards a body of water under a dark sky. The structure relies on layers of color and broad brushstrokes which create a sense of depth and movement. Miller's application of paint moves beyond mere representation. Instead it becomes a means to express the sensory experience of viewing the landscape. The brushwork is not just descriptive but performative, reflecting the artist's engagement with the materiality of paint. The interplay between the abstract qualities of color and form, and the representational elements of the landscape, destabilizes traditional notions of perspective. This tension invites us to consider how art can function as a site where perception and representation intersect. Miller challenges the way we see and interpret the world around us.
