Mike Silva (2025)

Posted
Monday 23 June

The Mead Gallery presented a solo exhibition of London-based artist, Mike Silva.

Exhibition dates: 1 May – 22 June 2025

Silva paints portraits, interiors, still lifes and landscapes drawn from an ongoing personal archive of photographic material.

The exhibition brought together new and recent paintings including portraits, interiors and landscapes. These include acquaintances, friends and lovers of past and present, as well as the interior spaces that these subjects spend or spent time in. 

In all of his paintings, light can be seen as a protagonist, and Silva's ability to capture subtle shifts of light and shadow within moments quietly and intimately observed, moves the works beyond the photorealist genre through his gestural application of paint on canvas.

The exhibition was organised in collaboration with the De La Warr Pavilion where it opened in Autumn 2024.
