Jack Millard
Millards’ paintings are largely an exploration of material, surface, color, texture and form. Ranging from geometric abstraction to distorted figures, landscapes and portraiture, Millard’s paintings suggest deeper, psychological narratives rooted in everyday relationships. Working with architectural paints, Millard paints on the floor and wall with wide brushes, hands and rags. The resulting images are bold, a mingling of familiar shapes and unexpected juxtapositions.
Millard has been painting for over forty years. His artistry began in his youth while attending the Dayton Art Institute. In his college years, Millard set-aside painting to study architecture and received a Bachelor of Architecture at Miami University. He began working in New York City with architects Paul Rudolph and Peter Marino before starting his own firm. Millard's work in architecture taught him to appreciate structure and spatial relations, which he brought to the canvas when he resumed painting.
Most recently, Millard has been working on large abstract paintings. Investigating elemental and transitional themes, these paintings convey a playful sense of mystery and irony.
Millard lives and paints in Chatham, NY. He has exhibited throughout New York and New England at venues including Spencertown Academy,, MCLA Gallery 51, Carrie Haddad Gallery, Hudson Hall and Time, Space Limited. Millard's work can be viewed by appointment at his Chatham studio.

My art right now is a personal exploration of the relationship between polarities, primarily chaos and order.I’m interested in the challenge of accepting chaos, relaxing with it, and observing the inherent order within.Ultimately my work at this point is all about trust, not panicking, recognizing control opportunities and problems. Staying open and alert…..with pencils and paints.
