Context

Milano employs materials that are part of our everyday experience, producing fabric-based paintings that are indebted to textile traditions and in the history of abstraction. Thinking through the physical properties of textiles, as well as their cultural associations, he combines processes such as dyeing, pressing, and distressing to create abstract compositions that champion a deeper engagement with our material environment. Whether it involves the piecing of a quilt, or the seam, fold, or drape of a shirt, the ubiquitous and seemingly mundane quality of cloth continues to motivate him in the studio. This print was made in collaboration with Ferwey Gallery, specifically with the assistance of Kate Conlon.
