Stephen Miller Presents “American Girl”
Stephen Miller’s London Debut Explores the Myth and Meaning of Americana
American Girl
This June, American artist Stephen Miller brings his bold, subversive vision to art’otel London Hoxton with American Girl, an electrifying exhibition that dissects, deconstructs, and reimagines the visual language of American identity. Drawing inspiration from Andy Warhol’s pop sensibility, David LaChapelle’s hyperreal glamour, and Gordon Parks’ incisive social commentary, Miller’s work is a kaleidoscopic interrogation of fame, femininity, and the commodification of culture.
Through a striking mix of photography, mixed media, and screen-printed works, American Girl blurs the line between nostalgia and critique, placing its subjects—glossy, larger-than-life, and often uncanny—within the evolving narrative of American myth-making. At once seductive and unsettling, the exhibition challenges viewers to reconsider the icons, imagery, and ideals that shape global perceptions of American Culture.
Expect a dazzling, high-contrast world where the artificial meets the authentic, and where Miller’s signature aesthetic—vivid, confrontational, and deeply cinematic—pushes past the surface to reveal the stories beneath.
Discover the exhibition in our Art Gallery, 1-10 June.
Stephen Miller
Stephen Miller is a Brooklyn-based freelance photographer whose work blends portraiture, documentary, and editorial styles. Raised in Northeast Ohio, he was deeply influenced by the visual language of 90’s television and film, which helped shape his early creative lens.
His photography is rooted in themes of softness, restoration, and joy—qualities that became central to his practice while living in Washington, D.C., and studying at Howard University in the late 2010s.
During this formative period, Stephen solidified a distinct visual style that would lead him to work with brands such as Meta, Soho House, Apple, and Oscar de la Renta. His photographs have appeared in The New York Times, Inc., ESSENCE, Dwell Magazine, Them Frames and MunaLuchi reflecting a career that bridges commercial work with deeply personal storytelling.
