The Miaz Brothers thread

Their work amazes me. Absolutely love it. Outside the reach of my finances but would be delighted to one day have one of their works in the house.

Thanks for sharing.

cheers posterbob

Thanks Posterbob – I've got my ticket sorted!

“We are interested in the ‘perception’ and not the ‘representation’ – a direct relationship with the senses and the
capacity of the self when faced with the elaborate influx of information that nowadays is becoming more and more
important.” - Miaz Brothers, 2014

Lazarides Rathbone is pleased to present a new exhibition of contemporary portraiture by the Miaz Brothers.
Antimatter Series: A Boundless Vision is comprised of an all-female body of work, marking a brief departure from
the Italian duo’s previously male dominated canvases. The visceral series leads the viewer on a journey through
multiple variations of perceiving the same subject, stretching processes of identification to achieve something not
fixed and limited but boundless and personal.

The Miaz Brothers continue their multifaceted airbrushing technique by erasing all unnecessary detail to gain
a flawless movement of infinite particles of colour, constructing complex compositions that are not instantly
recognisable but become clearer from a distance. The large-scale works develop the artists’ ongoing interest in
seventeenth-century renaissance painting, previously displayed in 2014’s Dematerialized: A New Contemporary
Vision. Their lack of detail calls for attention as viewers find themselves scanning each delicately subdued face
to place together the larger picture. The Miaz Brothers force the viewer to filter their awareness of what they
automatically see and what they naturally perceive, making a nod towards the philosophical implications of beauty
and the role of portraiture in modern society. The skilful series attempts to regain a consciousness of the subtle
and spiritual qualities that constitute each portrait, paraphrasing an ideology in which still-frames and fragments of
memory become clouded and in turn re-establish the subject’s truest form.

Alongside the gallery exhibition the Miaz Brothers will be giving an artist-led tour of the new works during SohoCreate
Festival. Celebrating the most creative square mile in the world, SohoCreate runs from the 3rd - 7th June with the
Miaz Brother’s Open House taking place at 2pm on Thursday 4th June // www.sohocreate.co.uk Celebrating the most creative square mile in the world, SohoCreate runs from the 3rd – 7th June with the Miaz Brother's Open House taking place at 2pm on Thursday 4th June.

I will never afford an Original, i hope soooo much they will release a print. I think I'm not the only one, it will have a be a quite large edition...

I really hope there is a print. I have the perfect frame on my wall ready to go

There were a couple of nice canvases by John Keane at Art15 entitled Figure at an Inquiry. Very powerful work in a similar vein to my eyes.

Anyone else go to the open house thing this afternoon? They were very fine hosts, very talkative and generous with their time, and it was fascinating to hear about how their creative process and the techniques they use. They confirmed that they're working on a print, but said that converting their unusual painting process to screenprinting was proving problematic and time-consuming – no release date yet.

I've got one – pm me with your email address!

who knew some blurry portraits would look so amazing. thanks for the photos.. wish I could've been there
