Milo Kester is a London-based artist working predominantly in sculpture, exploring its relationship to the form and composition of painting. Often incorporating found materials, his work engages with the stories embedded in objects. Drawing and collage are central to his practice, alongside an interest in the proximity of sculpture and design. He draws on science fiction imagery and literature as visual references and as tools for speculative thinking and contemporary myth-making.
