About Me

Myles Laurence Mansfield, MA, RCA About Me Myles was born in 1968 and worked in a variety of professions before entering higher education in 2014 to study Fine Art. He was awarded a First Class Honours degree in Fine Art from Swansea College of Art in 2017, followed by a Master’s degree with Distinction in 2020. He is currently undertaking PhD research in Fine Art at York St John University. In 2024, he was accepted as an Associate Member of the Royal Cambrian Academy. Myles works across watercolour, oil, acrylic, and mixed media/collage. Alongside his painting practice, he produces sculpture in steel and frequently incorporates recycled materials. “The figurative is very important to me whether I am painting or creating sculpture. Even when the work is broken up and abstracted, I need somewhere for the eye to start. I am always trying to find the edge with my art — the point where something is broken just enough that the original figure is not lost, while allowing the viewer’s eye to fill in the missing pieces.” Exhibitions Solo Exhibitions 2022 – iNHUMAN, Elysium Gallery, Swansea 2019 – Call Centre, Liquid Gallery, High Street, Swansea Group Exhibitions 2025 – Laugharne Weekend, Group Exhibition 2025 – Doddington Hall Sculpture Exhibition 2025 – Mines, Mills, Milk and Minerals, Studio Cennen, Ffairfach 2024 – Summer Exhibition, Mrs Jones Art Shop and Gallery, Shrewsbury 2024 – Breathe: Inspire : Spirit, Studio Cennen 2024 – Hellens Garden Manor Sculpture Trail 2023 – Human:Nature, Studio Cennen, Ffairfach 2023 – Uplifted, Oriel Llanteglos 2022 – Dulverton Kinetic Sculpture Exhibition 2021 – Axehead Returns, Volcano Theatre, Swansea 2021 – Haptics, The Arthouse, Worcester 2020 – The Robotic Man, Villa Brentano, Milan, Italy 2019 – Pollination Exhibition, Mann Library, Cornell University, USA 2018 – Some Things We Forgot to Remember, Swansea Museum 2018 – There’s Something in the Water, Galerie Simpson, Swansea Open Call & Selected Exhibitions 2025 – Bath Society of Artists 2025 – Pensychnant Nature Exhibition 2024 – Royal Ulster Academy 2024 – Royal West of England Academy 2024 – Association of Animal Artists Annual Exhibition 2024 – Royal Cambrian Academy 2023 – Swansea Open 2023 – Bath Society of Artists 2023 – Royal Cambrian Academy 2022 – Bath Society of Artists 2022 – Royal Cambrian Academy 2021 – Worcester Open 2021 – Bradford Gallery Figurative Prize (Award Winner) 2021 – Bath Society of Artists 2021 – Royal Ulster Academy of Art, 140th Summer Show 2021 – d31 Doncaster Summer Exhibition 2021 – Royal Ulster Academy of Art, 139th Summer Show 2020 – Chaiya Art Awards 2019 – Swansea Open 2019 – Royal West of England Academy, 167th Annual Exhibition 2019 – Refresh Art Award 2019 – Queen Street Open 2018 – Swansea Open 2018 – International Sculpture Festival, Guernsey 2018 – Oriel Davies, Newtown 2017 – Swansea Open Art Competition 2017 – The National Open Art Competition
