Miles Regis

Miles Regis is a Los Angeles-based multimedia artist whose work taps into the emotion and experiences of exotic cultures around the world and presents them in ways that are relevant to today’s modernized societies. Miles combines abstraction with figurative work; obscure references with in-your-face writings; symbolic narrative with Trinidadian splashes of color. The artist adds to this drip painting and collage work. His media includes oil, acrylic, charcoal, latex paint and occasional newspaper. He works on canvasses already colored, and on some painted with bold colors; his finished compositions take these as their start.

Over the years, the USC graduate has honed a technique that incorporates drip painting and collage work that is both unique and striking. With a style reminiscent of many of history’s great master painters, Miles' imagination is saturated with notions, ideas, and images reflective of a world filled with conflicting interests. His cultural duality and diverse perspectives play a large role in the humanistic consciousness he manages to present in his work.
