Press Release

For Frieze NY 2025, Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel presents works by Beatriz Milhazes, Antonio Tarsis,Tadáskía, and Wanda Pimentel, in a four-part exchange between distinct but intercommunicating and intergenerational investigations. Milhazes’ paintings and collages, Tarsis’ assemblages, and Tadáskía and Wanda Pimentel’s drawings are informed by vernacular visual languages, which they reprocess according to their singular vision.

While Milhazes translates ornamental motifs and decorative visual functions into abstract geometric systems, Tarsis addresses the compositional properties of impermanent objects such as matchboxes, harnessing their latent combustible potential. Both formal exuberance and the emphasis on material transformation appear in Tadáskía, who translates graphic tangles on paper into sculptural embodiments of metamorphosis. In Wanda Pimentel’s historical china ink drawings, the artist takes the relationship between the female body and a stifling environment of household appliances into hallucinatory scenes in skewed perspectives and eloquent, textural traces.

In parallel with Frieze, Beatriz Milhazes: Rigor and Beauty is on view at the Guggenheim Museum, New York. Last year, Tadáskía had her first solo presentation in the United States, Projects: Tadáskía at MoMA, while Wanda Pimentel was recently included in the institution’s permanent collection.
