Beatriz Milhazes on Instagram: “A possiblidade de trabalhar com colagem de recortes de papel sobre papel, me encantou e introduziu definitivamente um novo meio para desenvolver a minha linguagem e dialogar com a pintura. Novas estruturas composicionais e materiais, ampliam a gama de experimentação. Todas estas escolhas tem uma relação de intimidade e memória da minha relação com estes materiais - eles são coletados da minha vida e seus relacionamentos. [The possibility of working with paper cut collages on paper, has enchanted me and brought, in a definitive way, a new media to develop my language and dialogue with painting.

Beatriz Milhazes on Instagram: “A linha reta, seja horizontal ou vertical, sempre foi desafiadora. Na composição das pinturas, interrompe o olhar ou direciona para a linha do horizonte. Com a cor consegui fazer com que a repetição de linhas verticais, a justaposição de transparências nos quadrados e retângulos, criassem o movimento ocular fundamental para os acontecimentos na pintura. Esta compreensão abriu novas perspectivas para a evolução da obra e todos os meios desenvolvidos. O círculo ganha novos amigos para dialogar. Processo criativo é um ser vivo!” [The straight line, either horizontal or vertical, has always been a chalenge. In the paintings’ compositions, it interrupts the view, or drives it to the horizon line. With color, I managed to create, with the repetition of vertical lines, the transparencies’ juxtaposition in squares and rectangles, the ocular movement fundamental for the “happenings” in painting. This comprehension opened new perspectives for the works’ evolution in all medias. The circle has new friends to dialogue with. The creative process is a living being].

Beatriz Milhazes on Instagram: ”“Nos trabalhos de Milhazes, a colagem não surge como técnica eventual, mas como meio para explorar as possibilidades da prática da pintura hoje: um processo constante de apropriação e revisão do imaginário visual e da própria História da Arte” (Ivo Mesquita; catálogo Pintura Colagem Estação Pinacoteca) A colagem tem sido minha grande parceira, ferramenta, no processo de criação e desenvolvimento de minha linguagem. A partir de 2003 se confirma como um meio importante na construção da obra. Uma relação direta, objetiva em muitos casos; lúdica e divertida em outros. Experimental, na maioria das vezes, exigente sempre! Beatriz Milhazes:Avenida Paulista, até domingo 04 jul, no @itaucultural **** “In Milhazes works, collage does not appear as an eventual technique, but as a media to explore the possibilities of the painting practice today: a constant process of appropriation and revision of the visual imaginary of the Art History itself” (Ivo Mesquita; catalogue Pintura Colagem Estação Pinacoteca) Collage has been a great partner, a tool, in the process of creating and developing my language. From 2003 on, it is confirmed as an important media in the works construction. A direct relationship, objective in many points; playful and fun in others. Experimental, in most times, always demanding!

That’s it for this week! But we want the dinner party to continue! So each week we are asking a “dinner party” question for everyone joining us here at our table. Last week, we asked: “What’s YOUR favorite road trip music?” Here are some of the great responses from the comments:
Thank you everyone for your wonderful responses! That was last week . . . but we don't want this week's dinner party to end either!
So here is this week's question for the table:
This week we’re back in Skopje, North Macedonia, and we’re enjoying all the delicious cuisine at our local neighborhood kafanas.
So, our question for the table this week is:
What's YOUR favorite pub food? Or bar chow? (We learned about barchow from Drag Race Philippines and we're obsessed!)
Tell us your choice in the comments and we’ll share some of your responses on next week’s podcast! And thank you for joining us for Season Two of Aesthetic Arrest!
Cheers to that!
