An excerpt from the exhibition text written by Steuart Pittman

“Milo’s paintings are executed with exceptional clarity but result in dreamlike compositions that provide far more questions than answers. His visual affinities are wide-ranging: brand logos, obscure and forgotten cartoon personalities, musicians and lyrics, numbers and signs. Language and semiotics abound, evoking Baldessari and Kawara and the transformational synthesis of the typed word to the painted word. The meticulous and clinical draftsmanship herein is emboldened by a truly distinct palette, skewing brown and earthly with occasional pops of pure Pantone Color swatches. An auto-biographical thoughline appears and quickly disappears in these works, as Moyer-Battick deftly eschews narrative modalities as soon as they start. In their place, he confronts the viewer and beckons them to make rhyme - often literally - and some form of reason of his acrylic conundrums. A Cold War era inventory of source materials permeates, creating an according sense of unease and conflicting nostalgia. Moyer-Battick composes vivid nocturnes that linger well into the waking day, fleeting and bemusing check-ins with our subconscious.”
