The bold, chromatic, geometric works of Gerold Miller are the subject of a solo show at Galería Casado Santapau, Madrid, between April 13 and June 2.Since his beginnings as an artist, he has made works in which the viewer becomes an active participant in the experience. As the gallery puts it, “he has never offered a ‘painting’ or ‘sculpture’ in the traditional sense, rather his work is based upon the premise of an as-yet-unformed sculptural space and projection surface.”The use of repetition and serial forms, often in aluminum and painted to a high-gloss, are a signature of Miller’s work. While each work is unique, he uses repeated and echoing forms to create a sense of rhythm and of the passage of time. “These works become an illustration of what ‘Contemporary’ means: a temporal concept that describes a process that goes ‘with time’,” the gallery says. “Every series is grounded in a concept that investigates space, always pointing to the future through a process that never produces the same work.” “Verstärker (Amplifier),” presented in this show, is his first series of free standing, non wall-related sculptures. “As an open structure of three beams, the sculpture indicates, with minimal means, the basic notions of three-dimensionality that all of his objects entail: height, length and depth,” the gallery says. “Hence ‘Verstärker ‘literally pictures a fundamental recurring theme within his artistic research: The exploitation of the innumerable possibilities of describing the infinite space.” Miller’s practice has been compared to the American avant-garde artists of the 1960s and 1980s. In 2002, the In 2002 Miller was a subject of a major solo exhibition at the Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum fűr Gegenwart, in Berlin, and he has been widely exhibited in other countries, including Australia and Japan.The exhibition is on view through May 5, 2018, at Galería Casado Santapau, Piamonte 10, 28004 Madrid, Spain.For details, visit: http://www.blouinartinfo.com/galleryguide/galer%C3%ADa-casado-santapau/overviewClick on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.Founder Louise Blouin: http://www.blouinartinfo.com/artists/louise-blouin--2953510
