Paradise

The exhibition unfolds through portraits, urban scenes, and intimate exchanges. Echoes of Edward Hopper’s quiet tension run throughout the series. The conceptual center of Paradise consists of two fresh anecdotes in Navot Miller’s life—a recent romantic relationship with a person and a departure from a place he considers home: Berlin. Miller’s approach to both his former partner Eliezer and Berlin is filled with warmth, humor, and eventual heartbreak. Their story infuses the paintings. Here, longing is not failure, but a sign of being alive—a theme also touched on in Olivia Laing’s The Lonely City.
