Guilty Pleasures & Modern Vices Exhibition 23rd - 28th June







London Miles Gallery is proud to announce an exhibition featuring all Uk artists, from street artists Alex Young and Insa, to incredible digital painter Tom Bagshaw. Each artist was teamed up with a particular vice or guilty pleasure at random and are required to create a piece of art inspired by that vice. The outcome has been impressive and to say the least, we are already addicted to this emerging group of UK talent. "Vice is a practice or a habit considered immoral, depraved, and/or degrading in the associated society. In more minor usage, vice can refer to a fault, a defect, an infirmity, or merely a bad habit. Synonyms for vice include fault, depravity, sin, iniquity, wickedness, and corruption."

Guilty Pleasures and Modern vices will not only highlight a group of talented Uk artists, but also shine the light on some of todays troublsome issues with our society, such as Gambling, alcohalsim to simply being addicted to facebook.

Featured Artists:
INSA, Alex Young ,David Marsh, Tom Bagshaw, Xue Wang, Craww, Carne, Mr Gauky, Michael Forbes, Ruben Ireland, 
Mr Penfold, Miss Led.

Exhibition opens on
Thursday, June 23rd 2011 from 6pm to 11pm. 
Gallery location is 65 Hanbury
Street. East London.

Pens and Needles - Tattoo Art and Lifestyle (Feb 25th)




Pens and Needles - A group exhibition celebrating tattoo art and lifestyle. Opening reception: Friday, February 25th 2011. 7pm to 11pm.  

London Miles Gallery is proud to present Pens and Needles an art exhibition celebrating all aspects of tattoo art, culture, and lifestyle. The exhibition will feature original artwork, tattoo stencils and photographs from more than 20 top international tattoo artists and photographers.  
 
The opening night will be a memorable occasion with live tattooing, DJ's, and a large-scale installation transforming one corner of the lavish Westbourne Studios surroundings into its own temporary pop-up tattoo parlour.  

Opening up tattoo culture to a wider audience and showcasing the immense talents of the artists that shape the tattoo industry, Pens and Needles will offer an artistic insight into the still often-stigmatised social practice of tattoo art and body-modification. With skills not only in the tattoo field, these individuals also work with painterly mediums such as acrylic and oil on more 'traditional' canvases. Tattoo art has shaped cultures, trends, and identities across history - from ancient Maori and Japanese tattoo art to the markings of gang members and modern day trendsetters of a younger generation. Here, Pens and Needles will cover a bit of everything from across this complex and often-controversial subcultural art form.  

The opening reception is on Friday, February 25th 2011 at London Miles Gallery. 

  This is one London art exhibition seriously not to miss - come and enjoy the show and even feel free to contribute with your own display of flesh art!  

Confirmed Artists: Shawn Barber, Claudia Sabe, Mike Davis, Matt Difa, Xam, Olli Bery, Daniel Albrigo, Holy Fox, Jeff Gogue, Tom Bagshaw, Alex Young, Shad, Jondix, Jee Sayalero, Gustavo Rimada, Cate Rangle, Estevan Oriol, Lea Nahon, Bart Bingham, Rico, Horishion, Issac Fainkujen, Nick Baxter, Nick Colella and more to come.
