LUV is a color woodcut on Bread and Butter paper, executed in 2023 and published by Manifold Editions, London. This impression is from the edition of 50, signed in pencil and numbered on the reverse by the artist. Presented as the full sheet and framed, the work is in very good condition.

The work exemplifies the darkly witty, typographically bold, and culturally resonant visual language of Harland Miller, one of the most celebrated and widely collected British artists of his generation. Working primarily through large-scale paintings and prints that appropriate the visual language of vintage Penguin paperback book covers, Miller has developed a practice that sits at the intersection of literary culture, Pop Art, and existential humor — replacing the titles and authors of imaginary books with phrases of his own invention, at once bleakly comic and profoundly affecting.

In LUV, Miller distills his practice to its most concentrated and affective essence. The three-letter title — simultaneously tender and sardonic, intimate and ironic — carries the full weight of Miller's capacity to transform the simplest linguistic gesture into a charged meditation on human connection, longing, and the inadequacy of language itself. The woodcut medium, with its bold relief printing and expressive mark-making, gives the composition a raw physical energy that amplifies the emotional resonance of the title. Executed on Bread and Butter paper — a premium support that lends the impression a warm, tactile surface quality — the work achieves a balance of graphic strength and material refinement entirely characteristic of Miller's print practice at its finest.

Published by Manifold Editions, London — one of the most respected contemporary print publishers in the United Kingdom, known for working with leading British and international artists — this impression carries an impeccable production and institutional pedigree.

Preserved as the full sheet and presented framed, the work is in very good condition.
