About Mila Morton  

 

Mila Morton’s monotypes and ink drawings emerge from moments of cultural dialogue. Growing up on the edge of the Eurasian steppe, the artist’s early engagement with the natural vistas directed her art studies first in Moscow and then for five years in Hong Kong. Exploring the Asian landscape tradition, Morton began working on Xuan paper for many of her compositions, a type of rice paper originating from Tang dynasty China.

 

The series Calming View of the Huangshan Mountains was inspired by Morton’s visit to the mountain range in eastern China, its sharp peaks transformed into light and airy forms. Reeds is another recurring motif in her practice, where Mila Morton skilfully balances dynamic and tranquil elements. Mila Morton's sharp marks have a distinct calligraphic quality, as if thin reeds are rippling on the surface of the water, a distorted ancient language.​​​
