Memphis Artist Spotlight: Andre Miller

🖌️ “I want you to tell my story…”
That message sparked a 4-year journey for Memphis artist Andre Miller, whose latest series, “The Redemption of a Delta Bluesman: Robert Johnson,” is a breathtaking tribute to one of the most legendary — and misunderstood — blues musicians of all time.

📍 Gallery Albertine (55 S. Main), named after Andre’s mother, now houses the full 29-piece collection — one painting for each of Robert Johnson’s recorded songs. The work blends blues, spirituality, tragedy, and redemption in a powerful visual story.

💡 Johnson appears throughout the series as a faceless, blue-tinged spirit — watching, reflecting, and grieving. His journey is not just about music, but about legacy, loss, and moving on.

🖼️ One standout piece:
“My Sweet Woman I Believe It’s Time To Go”
💔 Johnson mourns his wife and child, lost during childbirth while he was away playing music — a pain deepened by family claiming it was his punishment for playing “devil music.”
