Milo Kester (b. 1995) is a London based artist, who graduated from Goldsmiths University in 2018 with a first class honours degree in Fine Art. Milo’s practice is predominantly based around sculpture and drawing.  He is interested in ideas of non-human agency and intelligence, looking at the communities of plants and fungi that make up forests; the microorganisms that live on and within us; and stromatolites, the fossilised structures of the ancient cities created by photosynthesising microbes. Some of his major aesthetic influences include the works of Lynn Chadwick and Thaddeus Mosley, as well as Science Fiction, and comics.

‘Spaceman’ is made up of objects found in LA, California, where Milo spent his childhood. They have been combined with a roof tile found while on a residency at Unsigned Cowboys Grudging in Cornwall. The work was one of a series of small humorous works made on the residency and the first to start exploring a lifelong interest in SciFi, fantasy and comic book characters.
