MiLo - Stepped Passage - XXL

MiLo – “Stepped Passage”

A work by Amsterdam-based artist MiLo (1976).

Stepped Passage is a restrained abstract composition defined by a single stepped line moving across a pale, layered surface. The line shifts direction with measured precision, creating a subtle rhythm of interruption and continuation.

Faint construction lines, circular markings, and scraped textures remain visible beneath the paint, revealing the layered process behind the work. These traces evoke architectural plans, indexing systems, or mapped pathways, while deliberately resisting a fixed narrative.

The muted palette and minimal intervention invite quiet contemplation, allowing small variations in texture and pressure to reveal themselves over time. The painting can be hung vertically or horizontally.

The painting will be rolled up and shipped in a sturdy tube or box, without frame, and includes a signed certificate of authenticity.

About the artist

MiLo (1976) is an Amsterdam-based artist with a background in photography and art studies.
Over the years he has sold more than 800 original works, now residing in private collections, hotels, restaurants, and offices across Europe, the United States, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

His practice spans from early Pollock-inspired action paintings to precise geometric compositions,
and to the layered, scratched surfaces he often explores today.

In his current work, MiLo investigates the tension between construction and erosion,
layering and scraping the painted surface until traces emerge.
These may recall urban structures, geological strata, or remnants of thought — yet the imagery is never fixed.
Each canvas evolves through process and chance, allowing multiple interpretations to surface beyond any single theme.

Each work forms part of an ongoing exploration of abstraction, memory, and transformation,
making MiLo one of the most prolific and recognizable contemporary artists on Catawiki.
