Myles Carter Cause Of Death, Ron Carter Son Myles Carter Dies, Artist

Myles Carter is an American painter and graffiti artist who over the years has developed a style deeply rooted in conceptual frameworks that embody aesthetics, ideals and social structures.

Myles Carter was born in New York City in 1965 and grew up in an environment that encouraged creativity on Manhattan’s Upper West Side—his father, Ron, was a famous jazz bassist, and his mother, a Harlem studio museum long-term trustee.

After attending Bank Street School, Miles was accepted into JHS 104 on East 21st Street, which required submitting a portfolio and passing an entrance exam. It is followed by the High School of Music and Art. He also participated in the Art Students League “painting nudes and still lifes,” he said. Of this foundation, he says, “That’s my artistic roots. In addition to all these structured art lessons, I’m a graffiti writer.” He got an early introduction to graffiti through subway cars in the early 1970s.

Using the alias Metro, he was associated with crews such as RTW in the late 1970s and 1980s – Rolling Thunder Writers, who were known for experimenting with different brands of paint and achieving unique results. Over time, his label Metro has evolved into MEO – Mathematical Equation Of… “There is a lot of math in my art”, as the artist himself puts it.

Miles’ move to Paris in the late 1980s, when he was in his early 20s, helped him broaden his artistic horizons, deepen his awareness, and make the transition from spray cans to paintbrushes. Miles Carter’s paintings exhibit dynamism, high energy, and dramatic impact due to his seemingly spontaneous and intense style, focusing little or no on figures or imagery, and more on actual brushstrokes and use of canvas .

His oeuvre includes seminal works such as the Mail Bag series he created during his stay in France in the 1980s, and more recent works that combine calligraphic gestures with fluid compositional organization. Full of visual burden, Carter’s work reflects the various formal and inherited senses that arose from the social interventions of graffiti that swept through New York City’s streets and subways in a spectacular bloom in the 1970s and 1980s.

Myles Carter has participated in numerous exhibitions in the United States and abroad. His work is held in several collections around the world.

The artist currently lives and works in New York City.
