“I believe there is a connection between the domestic and the sublime,
the commonplace and the spiritual, the material and the soul.
This has been the nature of my work.”

BIO

Based in Los Angeles, Miles Regis is a Trinidadian-born artist whose work taps into the emotions of the exotic cultures of the world and presents them in ways that are relevant to today’s modernized society. His work has appeared in association with CNN, NextAid World’s Day, CCH Pounder (Avatar, The Shield), Nicolette Sheridan (Desperate Housewives), American Rag Cie, Senegal’s La Musee Borindar, Isaiah Washington (Grey’s Anatomy) and several art communities around the country and throughout the world. With a style reminiscent of master painters such as Basquiat, Pollock, Gauguin, Dali, and Rivera, Miles’ imagination is saturated with notions, ideas, and images, reflective of a world filled with conflicting interests. To that effect, the artist has recently exhibited works alongside Shepard Fairey, Ron English, Gary Baseman and other artists as a part of Manifest Equality, a highly touted equal rights gallery and series of events produced by Yosi Sargent, former National Endowment of the Arts representative and head of the west coast publicity team behind Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. During the event, Miles’ exclusive backstage exhibit allowed him to impact change alongside notable celebrities like Marissa Tomei, Daryl Hannah, and Heather Graham.
