Milow, Keith
(b London, 29 Dec 1945). English sculptor, painter and printmaker. As a student at Camberwell School of Art, London, from 1962 to 1967 and at the Royal College of Art from 1967 to 1968, he produced representational paintings of modern architectural imagery. These were followed in 1970 by a series of wall hangings made of resin, crayon and fibreglass titled Improved Reductions, for example 1 2 3 4 5 6 ... B (1970; London, Tate), in which his painted copy of a sculpture by Anthony Caro was cut into strips and then reassembled into a parabolic shape. Elements of paintings and sculpture were also combined in his Infinity Drawings (e.g. Infinity Drawing (ID/16B/75), 1975; Brit. Council Col.), in which he used a plasterers comb to score surfaces painted with aquatec gel mixed with oxidized copper powder. Here the equation of fragmented patterns suggestive of mathematical symbols involves the spectator in games of mental transference.
