Myles Calvert was born in Collingwood, Ontario. He attended the University of Guelph with a focus in printmaking, before travelling to London, UK where he completed his MA in Printmaking, at Camberwell College of Art. Major bodies of work included installations of screen printed toast and the idolization of popular British celebrity culture. During this time, he worked for the National Portrait Gallery before moving to Hastings in East Sussex, to teach printmaking at Sussex Coast College and become Duty Manager of the newly built Jerwood Gallery (now, Hastings Contemporary). Myles’ toast-based work continued with a 43000 slice installation during the Queen’s ‘Diamond Jubilee’ with college students, drawing BBC media attention, and culminated in two solo exhibitions before making a return to the University of Guelph to teach. Recent residencies include Art Print Residence (Barcelona, Spain), Proyecto’ace (Buenos Aires, Argentina), PUCP (Pontificia Universidad Catòlica del Perú) in Lima, and the McColl Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Myles is currently an Associate Professor of Fine Art at Winthrop University, South Carolina.
