Miles Regis

Miles Regis (b. 1967) is a Trinidadian-born painter based in the United States whose work has been exhibited in solo and group shows Internationally. Prolific in both fine art art and fashion design, Regis freely swaps the materials and languages of each to enrich the other. His large-scale mixed media paintings on canvas and linen incorporate dimensional collage elements of denim, buttons, leather, printed matter, sequins, and patches of eclectically sourced found textiles along with his dextrous, gestural, richly hued abstract and figurative painting techniques. His work is characterized by layers of abstract figures and bright hues as he explores themes of storytelling, activism, history, and freedom.  Regis’ work is in the permanent collection of Intel Corporation, California African American Museum, and Senegal’s La Musee Borindar.  Regis has exhibited across the United States, the Caribbean and in South Africa.  This is his first time exhibiting in Canada.
