The University of Arizona Museum of Art is pleased to present Nancy
Tokar Miller's first career survey. Focused on important works since
1971, the exhibition reveals how Tokar Miller's practice has shifted and
deepened, while remaining ardently invested in the fundamentals of
painting: the communicative capabilities of line and gesture, the
evocative brilliance of color, and the endless plasticity of the medium.
Inspired by American Color-Field painting and Asian aesthetic
traditions, informed by travel, photographs, and memory, Tokar Miller
creates formal relationships that convey a distinctive sense of
spiritual calm.
