New to the Gallery: Chico & Miltiade Meireis

We’re delighted to introduce a fresh wave of photography at Clic, featuring new works by Chico (Julian Imrie) and Miltiade Meireis. Both artists capture the world with remarkable sensitivity, one through sweeping coastal landscapes, the other through the intimate language of flowers. Together, they offer two distinct yet complementary perspectives on beauty, form, and the passage of light.

 

Miltiade Meireis, born in Paris and working between New York and France, continues to refine his delicate eye for atmosphere and place. His newest pieces transport us to Uruguay and Anse d’Arlet, where color and light shift in quiet harmony. In his Uruguay series, the imagery evokes a sense of calm expansiveness, in ‘The Empty Watch’ pastoral fields of sand that open beneath vast skies, soft reflections that ripple across water, and sunlight that lingers gently at the horizon. Each composition captures not just a view, but the feeling of being suspended within it, a moment both fleeting and timeless. 

By contrast, the photo from Anse d’Arlet carries a different energy. The French Caribbean coast comes alive through vibrant tones and rich contrasts: brilliant water against lush green hills, shifting skies with a pier to the sea. Meireis finds stillness in the movement, balance in the play between light and shadow. His camera reveals the subtleties of color and texture that make each place its own, reminding us that landscape is never just scenery, but a record of sensation and memory.

While Miltiade explores the vastness of the place, Chico invites us to look inward, closer, deeper. His latest series turns to the quiet intricacies of nature with macro flower photography that transforms the familiar into the extraordinary. These images go beyond botanical observation. In Chico’s lens, petals become landscapes, curves become movement, and color dissolves into light. The result is a body of work that sits between realism and abstraction, a study in form and feeling.

 

Through his abstract macro flower photography, Chico reveals textures and tones that might otherwise go unnoticed. The surface of a petal glows like silk, edges blur into shadow, and the delicate structure of each bloom becomes an artful composition of its own. His creative macro flower photography reimagines the natural world at a scale that feels both intimate and infinite. Each piece carries a quiet intensity, where softness and strength coexist.

 

In his photographs titled; ‘Lucia,’ ‘Flavia,’ and ‘Valentina,’ Chico’s attention to light and texture elevates these floral portraits into fine art macro flower photography, refined, immersive, and full of depth. They are studies in perception, asking us to slow down and see the small, quiet miracles that often escape notice.

 

Seen together, the works of Chico and Miltiade form a dialogue between the micro and the monumental. One invites us to zoom in, to explore the details of life on the smallest scale; the other opens the frame outward, capturing the vastness of air, water, and horizon. Yet both share a reverence for light, its ability to define space, create emotion, and reveal the beauty that connects us to our surroundings.

 

Now showing at Clic, these new arrivals invite collectors and admirers alike to rediscover the art of seeing. Explore Miltiade Meireis’s evocative photographs of Uruguay and Anse d’Arlet, and Chico’s luminous macro floral studies, each a reminder that art begins wherever light meets the eye.
