Allison Miller (born 1974 in Evanston, Illinois) is a contemporary painter based in Los Angeles.
[1] Her work utilizes bright colors, bold forms and textures, and tentative and improvised sketchy lines.
"[12] Daniel Gerwin, in a 2016 article for the Los Angeles Review of Books, praised Miller for being a "master" of negative capability, the ability to work through and within a state of uncertainty.
[13] He posited that "Miller's capacity for the unknown allows her to arrive at novel and fascinating outcomes in her paintings, with unpredictability the most notable through-line.
"[13] In a review of the artist's 2018 exhibition Feed Dogs at Susan Inglett Gallery, The Brooklyn Rail wrote that "Miller has been refining [for the past decade] a disarming, vernacular abstraction that maximizes the associative propensities of form and color and dramatizes the essential subjectivity of visual experience.
