“I want to paint every river in the world.”
- Ben Miller
BEN MILLER PAINTS where water, gravity, and land converge: rivers, both pristine and endangered. Along their banks, and in the studio, he casts thousands of times with his fly rod onto plexiglass, building each work through repeated physical engagement with the river.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Ben and his Fly-Cast Paintings will be at:
Scottsdale Art Fair, March 19 - 22, 2026;
Westworld of Scottsdale, Scottsdale, AZ
Expo Chicago, April 9 - 12, 2026;
Navy Pier, Chicago, IL
“When Jackson Pollock first exhibited his paintings, they sent out a palpable energy quite different from a traditional Renaissance painting. Viewers were blown into another zone of consciousness. We get this same feeling from Ben Miller’s work, which transfers our usual ideas about representation into something different—a form of awareness that’s strangely abstract, mystical, and even a bit religious.”
