about
Mirland is John R. Mirland – danish artist and electronic musician. I started out playing the drums in various metal bands while working as an illustrator for various international publishers eventually working as a graphic consultant.
In '94 I founded the industrial/noise outfit VHS together with Lars 'Zwoo' Windeleff Jørgensen and have since then released music ranging from noise, industrial, ambient and lately almost exclusively clubby tracks as Mechanical Principle and industrial rock together with Michael Chekov as Feuerkopf.
Art-wise I am inspired by symbolism, surrealism and comics. I work in a semi-realist style and my works usually tell stories about man, religion and ethics - and sex. I work equally in pencil on paper and acrylics on canvas.
