Mike Silva Exhibition

Until Sun 22 Jun View Venues, Dates & Times

London-based artist Mike Silva uses a personal archive of photographic material as the inspiration for his paintings - works of art in which he focuses on capturing subtle shifts of light and shadow within moments that are quietly and intimately observed...
This solo exhibition brings together a selection of Mike’s new and recent paintings. These include portraits of acquaintances, friends and lovers, as well as the interior spaces in which the subjects of his paintings spend or spent their time.
“I really wanted to paint with the aggression of punk,” Mike told the Guardian a couple of years back, “but I can’t do it. Instead, the works express a sensitivity... a vulnerability to my character that I’ve always been a bit embarrassed about. More Nick Drake than The Clash!”
