Miller works in the border area between sculpture, painting and architecture. His actual subject is the picture itself. With his early group of works, the “Installations”, he ties in with the systematics of Concrete Art and Minimalism . His systems are industrially manufactured, frame or grid-like wall pieces. Miller complements this formal aspect in the series of “ready-mixes” with ideas from conceptual art and “ready mades”.

The exhibition “get ready” in the Hamburger Bahnhof , Museum für Gegenwart in Berlin 2002 provided an overview of the large-format “hard: edged” works . They merge the clearly delineated flatness of the classic hard edge with the bright colors of American Pop Art .

In his paper works Gerold Miller returns to the planar layout and the formats of the traditional picture. The series of "expansions" are superimpositions of cut or torn colored paper on a mirrored background. In terms of numbers, the group of “total objects”, which stand as a hybrid constellation between art and design, is dominant. In the most recent works, Miller decisively expanded his artistic approach. The aluminum carrier is now copper-plated on the one hand, but is then again subjected to the complex processes of oxidation and multiple varnishing.
