Beatriz Milhazes @ Tate St Ives

A retrospective of the work of artist Beatriz Milhazes, who is known for intensely colourful, large-scale abstract canvases. The exhibition, Maresias traces the evolution of her artistic approach over the past four decades.

Milhazes is influenced by multiple sources including Brazilian and European modernism, Catholic iconography, Baroque colonial architecture, and the vernacular culture and heritage of Brazil.

Adapting the concept of collage to painting, Milhazes creates exuberant, densely layered works
