Special Lecture
Beatriz Milhazes:
Living painting

Beatriz Milhazes is one of the best Brazilian artists in contemporary painting known for her large scale works and installations. She develops an innovative painting approach which brings fresh breath and vernacular energy by incorporating concepts of tropical forests, primitive music, and fashion together. Being a hybridity of collage and painting, her work invites the audience to investigate the variety of modernism with new sensations. In the lecture, she will talk about the unique stenciling technique and the course of making painting alive.
