Photographer and painter, Steve Miller has been making work at the intersection of art and science for the past 32 years, exhibiting nationally and internationally. Miller was one of the first artists in the 80s to experiment with computer generated images, and he has made his mark in contemporary photography ever since. The artist has presented 36 solo exhibitions at major institutions in the United States, China, France, and Germany. His exhibitions have been reviewed in Le Monde, Süddeutsche Zeitung, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, ArtForum, ARTnews, and Art in America.
He is well known for several art-science projects, including his long-term collaboration with Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Rod MacKinnon, who studies the way ions move across cell membranes. For this work, Miller combined molecular imagery with notations and diagrams from MacKinnon’s experimental notebook. This work will be featured in a solo exhibition, “Crossing the Line: Paintings by Steve Miller” at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. from August 5, 2013 – January 13, 2014. Marvin Heiferman curated the show and a catalog is available.
