Mia Middleton

Mia Middleton (b. 1988, London, England; based in Lisbon, Portugal) is an artist whose pictorial works explore interiority, memory and evocation. Middleton’s small-scale paintings capture a tension and threshold between conscious and subconscious, desire and aversion, reality and fantasy. In her intimate freeze-frames, ephemeral moments are stripped of their context and suspended in time, intimating a narrative without creating one and inviting viewers into a psychological framework of uncertainty and discovery. Mia has recently presented work with Roberts Projects LA, Marlborough Gallery London and Cob Gallery London.

Middleton holds a BFA from the University of New South Wales and has exhibited internationally, with solo shows at Roberts Projects in Los Angeles, PM/AM in London, and COMA in Sydney. She has also completed residencies at PM/AM and the Seoul Museum of Art and has exhibited widely internationally.
