MiLo - Assembled Index - XXL

MiLo – “Assembled Index”

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

Assembled Index presents a composition built from distinct yet interrelated visual fields. Each segment carries its own gesture, density, and rhythm — from loose, Pollock-like action marks to tighter linear structures — forming a surface that reads as both fragmented and cohesive.

Rather than functioning as a strict system, the work operates as an index that has been assembled: a collection of visual entries, each recording a different mode of movement or mark-making. Together, these sections create a patchwork of processes, where chance, repetition, and control coexist within a carefully balanced structure.

The contrast between expressive gestures and ordered grids generates tension across the surface, inviting the viewer to move between areas of intensity and restraint. The result is a dynamic abstract composition that rewards both immediate impact and prolonged viewing.

The artwork can be hung horizontally or vertically, allowing the collector to choose the orientation that best suits the space.

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.
