MIA BOE
b. 1997, AustraliaMia Boe is a painter from Brisbane with Butchulla and Burmese ancestry. The inheritance and disinheritance of both cultures is the focus of her practice. Boe’s strikingly recognisable paintings are incredibly intriguing, populated with long-limbed figures, eerily present in flat, richly coloured landscapes: distended black bodies with elongated legs reside within vibrant stylised worlds.
Personal narratives are embedded deeply within the brushstrokes, drawing on a hybrid of histories and an amalgamation of heritage in an alluring and timeless aesthetic that is difficult to define.
