Miles Aldridge British, b. 1964

Miles Aldridge (b. 1964, London) is a British artist whose vividly saturated, psychologically charged photographs occupy a distinctive space between cinema, painting, and fashion. Drawing on references from film noir, Pop Art, and religious iconography, Aldridge constructs meticulously staged mise-en-scènes that explore themes of the false promise of luxury and the assorted fictions of modern life. These glamorous, frequently eroticised images probe society's idealised notions of domestic bliss, where sinister undercurrents swirl beneath a flawless surface. Major institutional exhibitions include Virgin Mary. Supermarkets. Popcorn. at Fotografiska (New York, Stockholm, and Berlin), I Only Want You to Love Me at Somerset House (London), and Miles Aldridge Colour Pictures 2000 - 2022 at Hangaram Design Museum (Seoul). Aldridge's work is held in the permanent collections of The V&A, The National Portrait Gallery, The British Museum, ICP New York, Palais Galliera Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris, and Fondation Carmignac, among others.
