Noel Myles Biography, Age, Height, Wife, Net Worth and Family

Myles has exhibited at various locations and has been resident artist three times. Myles was artist in residence at ITN studios between Oct 1995 and 1996, Rowe and Maw in 1987 and 1995, and Shaftesbury PLC 1995.

Myles studied fine art at the Hornsey and Walthamstow School of Art between 1966 and 1970. From the 1980s on, Myles begun using etching techniques and produced a series of drawings in Cornwall of the sea and cliffs, some of which were shown at the Royal Academy. It was following this period that the artist began to experiment with photography. A chance encounter with an exhibition of 19th Century photography at the Royal Academy of Arts captivated the artist with its ‘delicate, tactile qualities’. Later, the artist received a grant from the University of East London to research Victorian printing processes including Platinum prints. Myles had issues with the way in which photography had come to represent reality as ‘decisive moments,’ as photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson sought to capture. The artist started to explore different ways of capturing the ways that the human mind perceives events, and likewise, the way that memories are constructed. David Hockney had previously pioneered the joiner technique of forming an image of a series of individual photographs and Myles started to use a similar technique in his work. He was awarded first prize in the Bradford Challenge at the NMPFT by David Hockney in 1987.

Noel Myles (born 1947 in London) is an English artist who works with the still photographic image, extending it beyond the single moment and static viewpoint. He was born in London in 1947 and lives and practices in Sudbury, Suffolk. He is most known for his large-scale collages composed of small individual photographs, taken from various view points and at different times, which when joined together make up a larger image.
