Miles Debas is an artist based in NYC who works with rudimentary materials to make work observing the parallels between personal & historical cycles. Within his collaged paintings, drawings and sculpture, references to the physical lifecycle as well as historical & mundane imagery are partially dissolved in an atmosphere of vibrant abstraction.
