British artist Harland Miller honed his skills on the (once) mean streets of downtown New York. He returned to the U.K. to create, among other works, paintings and prints inspired by the covers of vintage Penguin books. Visual art aside, Miller once penned a novel—Slow Down Arthur, Stick To Thirty—a glorious tale of a young guy who goes on tour with a David Bowie impersonator in 1980. Miller’s works fetch thousands and prints only appear from time to time. However, this summer, Other Criteria is offering a limited edition of deckchairs, featuring some of the artist’s trademark, laconic and humorous mottos. If you like art and the beach, you can’t go wrong. SEE ALSO: Look Out for This Stylish Art Collective Observer Delivered to Your Inbox We noticed you're using an ad blocker.

Harland Miller’s works switch between being sardonic, hilarious and nostalgic as his own phrases replace the original titles of Penguin books. Here some of his infamous works are recreated onto limited edition deckchairs. The frames are made with sustainable merpauh wood treated with teak oil and the canvas is a polyester and cotton mix. Harland Miller Harland Miller was born in Yorkshire in 1964. After completing an MA in Fine Art at the Chelsea College of Art & Design he moved to New York, where he lived and worked for several years whilst exhibiting at the Prisunic Gallery. In 1992 he moved back to Europe, first to newly reunified Berlin where he began writing. By 1994 he was living and working in Paris, where he exhibited at the Galerie Louis XIV. After more extensive travels Miller eventually returned to the UK in 1996/97 where he carried on writing as well as painting. In 2001 he achieved critical acclaim for his debut novel Slow Down Arthur, Stick To Thirty and in 2002 he occupied the Writer in Residency post at the ICA.

Although the former was more voluntarly than the latter, what better way is there to reflect upon these events than with Harland Miller’s satirical commentaries on life and literature? Whether ironic, sarcastic or downright cheeky, the British artist’s adaptations of the much-loved Penguin book jackets demythologise and amuse in equal measure.

And now, you can do so while relaxing at the beach, pool or in your living room. The chairs are made in a limited edition of 500 for each title and many of Miller’s best known works are among those titles. Examples are “If The Phone Don’t Ring, It’s Me”, “Love And Other Crimes”, “What’s All The Hubbub Bub?” or “The Me I Never Knew”. And what about “International Lonely Guy, My Story”, which seems rather apt in relation to the events of the past week, or the slightly more morbid “Death, What’s In It For Me?” Send a message to info@famous.nl if you’re interested and we’ll get back to you with all possibilities. And keep an eye on our website and newsletter to find out when you can buy them in the webshop! The frames are made with sustainable merpauh wood treated with teak oil which provides excellent protection against the elements and wear, extends the working life, and the fine finish enhances the natural appearance. The canvas is a very hard wearing polyester and cotton mixture and printed using state-of-the-art technology.
