MiLo – “Rolled Trajectories”

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

Rolled Trajectories is a process-driven abstract composition created by physically rolling a custom-made object across the surface of the canvas, leaving black linear traces that cross, loop, and fracture through the field. These mechanical imprints are contrasted by thrown splashes and drifting marks in warm gray and beige, introducing chance and interruption into the structure.

Set against a subtly toned white and ivory ground, the painting balances precision with randomness. The rolling motion records direction and pressure, while the splattered layers suggest energy, impact, and dispersal, creating a visual language that feels both controlled and volatile.

The work can be hung in any orientation (portrait, landscape, or rotated), allowing the movement and intersections of the lines to shift with its presentation.

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.
