2 Devin Miles ist der bedeutendste Vertreter der Contemporary German Pop Art. Er beschäftigte sich zunächst mit Grafikdesign und Malerei, bevor er 2001 begann, seine Erfahrungen im Bereich des Siebdrucks in künstlerischer Form umzusetzen. In einer stilprägenden Symbiose verschiedener bildnerischer Techniken und der genretypischen Verbindung von Realität mit Kunst, schafft Miles Werke von enormer Strahlkraft, die ihre zeitlose Wirkung generations- übergreifend entfalten. Seine faszinierenden Arbeiten begeistern Kunstliebhaber und Sammler aus der ganzen Welt. In einer einzigartigen Kombination aus Malerei, Airbrush und Grafik fertigt er großformatige Collagen. Sie beflügeln die Fantasie und wecken bei vielen die Erinnerung an die glorreichen 1950er- und 1960er-Jahre. In der Motivwelt des Künstlers leben unter anderem die Ikonen dieser Zeit, Kinogrößen wie Marylin Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Romy Schneider, James Dean oder Steve McQueen weiter. Sie stehen für eine Epoche, in der die Welt begonnen hat, über Grenzen hinaus zu denken, in der der Grundstein für die Globalisierung gelegt wurde und in der auch die Pop Art ihre Ursprünge hat. Miles kombiniert diese unvergesslichen Persönlichkeiten mit Symbolen ihrer Ära wie Traumautos oder klangvollen Modemarken, verleiht ihnen aber durch seine künstlerische Hand eine völlig eigene Identität. Seine Kunst stellt keinen rückwärtsgerichteten Blick in die Vergangenheit dar, sondern Miles transportiert markante Ereignisse und Persönlichkeiten der Geschichte in Gegenwart und Zukunft. So auch in seiner jüngsten Werkreihe Baroque Visions, in der er Peter Paul Rubens eine völlig neue Aktualität verleiht. Devin Miles is the most eminent representative of the contemporary German pop art movement. Initially he concentrated on graphic design and painting. From 2001 onwards, he began to give artistic expression to his experience with screen printing. Miles has achieved a style-defining symbiosis by combining various creative techniques with a conflation of reality and art that is characteristic of this genre, thereby producing works of art that have enormous brilliance, with a timeless, cross-generational impact. Art lovers and collectors worldwide are inspired by his fascinating works on brushed aluminium. Using a unique combination of painting, airbrushing and graphics, he produces large-scale collages. They fire the imagination and stir memories of the glorious 1950s and 1960s in many of us. The icons of those years, movie stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Romy Schneider, James Dean or Steve McQueen, live on in the world populated by the artist s motifs. They represent a time when people began to see beyond the immediate horizon, when the foundations of globalisation were being laid - a period that also gave rise to pop art. Miles combines these unforgettable personalities with symbols of their era, such as dream cars or sonorous fashion labels, but through his creativity he confers on them an identity that is purely their own. His art does not represent a retrospective view; instead, Miles transports significant events and personalities from the past into the present and the future. He has achieved this once again in his most recent series of works entitled Baroque Visions, where he imbues the motifs of Peter Paul Rubens with a completely new topicality. 2
