Using strong linear composition, Miller’s painting sets a definite scene, but one in which there is as much missing as there is depicted. Gallery Crowd with Advertisements for Myself is obviously self referential, but the artist allows us to fill in some tantalizing details of our own. Miller lives in Fargo with his daughter, Isabella.
