MiLo - Ruptured Aperture - XXL

MiLo – “Ruptured Aperture”

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

Ruptured Aperture is a restrained abstract composition centered on a subtle yet physical interruption of the canvas surface. Layers of dried acrylic are built up and pushed outward, forming a raised opening that introduces real depth and shadow into the otherwise calm plane.

Fine linear incisions cross the surface and pass directly through the aperture, visually connecting the flat painted field with the space behind it. This interplay between surface, line, and relief creates a quiet spatial tension, suggesting pressure, displacement, and controlled disruption rather than rupture through force.

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.
