Christine Miller is a painter based in New York, NY. With a background in Product Development and extensive knowledge of the manufacturing process - her work focuses on the design intentionality of historical commercial products, literature, and advertisements that have been used to dehumanize African Americans. Her art centers around racial stereotypes and histories, while simultaneously reframing cultural narratives. Pointedly exploring how anti-Black propaganda and stereotypes permeate American life, Christine sources and recontextualizes figurines, advertisements, written material, and other ephemera that overtly and covertly create and maintain anti-Blackness. Despite the deeply violent and sinister nature of these objects and visuals, she often draws from those with an “everyday” quality—once readily available tchotchkes, drugstore products, and popular magazines—that add to the material’s impact. Through her work, she confronts and challenges white supremacist definitions and illustrations of Blackness, as well as her own identity formation. In addition to her watercolor paintings, Christine also utilizes graphics and works in publications to further her visual storytelling. She has a background in Fine Art and Geography from Hunter College along with a degree in Textile & Surface Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology. Christine’s work has been shown in places such as the Portland Art Museum, The New York Times, BOMB Magazine, as well as various galleries, publications, and cultural institutions. She is currently an MFA student at Columbia University with a concentration in painting. christinelaurinmiller.com IG: @sincerelychristinemiller Free + Open to the public Information Source: PNCA Public Programs | eventbrite
