From the George Lawson Gallery:

We are pleased to be showing recent work from New York based painter Tad Wiley, his third exhibition in our gallery. For this show Wiley has chosen 28 from a group of 50 paintings on vellum paper that have occupied him since June of 2010. Approaching paper with the same rigor he brings to his wood panels, Wiley states,

“The vellum support has been a perfect choice in that its smooth surface allows the paint to sit right up on top. However the surface is not without ‘tooth’, which traps the more thinned out color in a way reminiscent of the application of tusche on a lithography stone. The translucent cast allows overspills to creep around the back surface and appear on the front in a ‘ghosting’ fashion.”

Wiley’s shift from his accustomed oil-based enamel to an alkyd painting medium for this series has allowed more spontaneity, a looser handling with expanded options for form and color within the field, resulting in a very dynamic body of work. In our new small gallery, we will show a selection of paintings in enamel on wood. Both bodies of work continue to develop Wiley’s geometric language with its traces of architecture, wood joinery, and the natural world.

For his “Larger Than Life” exhibit, De Brito will utilize different mediums to trigger the senses and create the illusion of transporting the audience to the scenes from his works. The show will consist of nine large scale oil paintings accompanied by the artist’s first video installation. De Brito is also installing a replica of the kitchen which is the setting for many of his works. “Larger Than Life” will include De Brito’s largest scale works created to date.

Backyard Chronies

“With my ‘Larger Than Life’ exhibit, my goal is to bridge the gap between myself and the viewer. Both the video installation and the kitchen replica help bring my paintings to life and give the audience a deeper emotional connection to my work,” said De Brito.

London Miles is very excited to announce our next
exhibition titled ‘Literal.eyes’. An all-new group show that takes a
closer look at the content found inside the dusty book covers of iconic
written works by great literary masters. Whether inspired by a novel,
poem, or a poignant phrase from their chosen literary piece, 30 artists
from across Europe are recreating how they visually and literally
interpret their all time favourite piece of narrative into a painting.

Iconic writers whose narratives are being recreated include the all famous
children’s favourite and cartoonist Dr. Seuss to our very own national
literary hero; William Shakespeare.  Artists have chosen pieces of
literature from a broad range of authors, as well as foreign writers
relevant to their home origin. Some examples include, digital painter Tom
Bagshaw who will recreate ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ by Shakespeare, Nom
Kinnear King paints ‘The House of Spirits’ by Isabel Allende and Camilla
D’Errico takes inspiration from the Opera “Aida” by Giuseppe Verdi.

The show opens in an all new gallery space in East London!!
