Join artist Milano Chow for a conversation exploring her artistic practice with Art + Practice’s Public Programs and Exhibitions Manager Joshua Oduga on June 29, 2021. During the program, Chow will touch upon elements of her artistic practice including her inspirations, techniques and upcoming projects as an intimate insight into the artist’s practice. This program is organized as part of A+P’s Spring 2021 Program Series.
Chow’s practice engages the visual language of perceived architectures and framed narratives through graphite renderings and collage. Employing ornamental and illusionistic elements, she recasts the confines of interior environs and exterior structures, accentuating the boundaries between intimacy and exclusion.
