Artist Statement
A. B. Miner received an MFA from Queens College, CUNY
in 2000 and the DC Commission on the Arts and
Humanities Young Artist Program Grant and Artist’s
Fellowship awards. Recent exhibitions include “Me, You
and Those Other Folks” at the gallery at Flashpoint
and the solo exhibition “Chimera” at H & F Fine Arts.
His curatorial pursuits include a 2007 writing
residency at Maryland Art Place in Baltimore and
curatorial work at the Hirshhorn Museum. With oil
impasto, the artist captures monumentality on a tiny
scale. Beauty and the grotesque co-exist with
commentary on gender fluidity, multiple identities,
and bodily mutation in the artist’s (mostly self)
portraits.
