Works by Beatriz Milhazes

Beatriz Milhazes... Popeye (2008, Acrylic on canvas). From Works by Beatriz Milhazes at James Cohan Gallery in New York, NY. "...As one of the most celebrated Brazilian artists working today, Milhazes' exuberantly colored, rhythmically constructed abstract paintings, collages, prints and architectural installations are well-known worldwide. Milhazes merges all of the formal concerns inherent in abstract painting with a dizzying hybrid of influences that bounce off of each other to produce works in which, as the artist describes, 'culture eats culture.'"
