Maresias (solo show)
Tate St Ives
25 May – 29 September 2024
Tate St Ives presents Maresias, a retrospective of the work of Beatriz Milhazes which traces the evolution of her artistic approach over the past four decades. In Portuguese, Maresias refers to the salty sea breeze that is part of Milhazes’ everyday life in the coastal city of Rio de Janeiro, where she lives and works. Nature is an enduring and increasingly important theme, and she finds inspiration in the landscapes around her studio, as well as in the forms and structures of the natural world.

Bolha de Sabão [Soap Bubble], 2024 (artist edition)
For Turner Contemporary, Milhazes has created Bolha de Sabão [Soap Bubble], 2024, an exclusive handmade collaged edition in an edition of 40 works. Comprising 44 individual cut papers, the petal and leaf forms, together with the highly charged colour palette, resonate with the tropical fauna found in the botanical garden close to her studio.
Milhazes has long incorporated natural forms into her work, increasingly taking inspiration from her local environment in Rio. By layering and combining varied materials – from sweet wrappers to shiny packaging and decorative marbled papers, Bolha de Sabão [Soap Bubble], 2024 embodies a visual journal reflecting Milhazes’ travels and daily life.

Yellow Flower Dream (permanent installation)
Inujima Island
New artwork unveiled at Inujima 'Art House Project'
Yellow Flower Dream, a work by Beatriz Milhazes has opened in Japan on November 1st, 2018, at Inujima Island for the 'Art House Project - A-Art House', and also will be joining Setouchi Triennale 2019 starting from April 26th, 2019.
Based on the artist's perception of the architecture of A-Art House as a 'sculpture uniting the surrounding community and nature', this work represents, through the use of colors overflowing with energy, a virtual landscape depicting the vitality of the geometry and daily life unfolding in Inujima's nature.
Inujima Art House Project was launched with the objective of inspiring the local community of Inujima, allowing them to experience the beautiful landscapes of everyday life and the familiar natural environments that extend beyond the artworks. This project was developed by artistic director Yuko Hasegawa and architect Kazuyo Sejima for the village on Inujima.
The Inujima 'Art House Project' is a part of art-related activities, Benesse Art Site Naoshima, conducted by Benesse Holdings, Inc. and Fukutake Foundation on the islands of Naoshima, Teshima and Inujima to create significant spaces in resonance with the pristine nature of the Seto Inland Sea region.
