Artwork location: Brazil
This artwork is a vibrant and intricate tapestry of jungle life, showcasing an array of lush foliage intertwined with vines and clusters of fruit. The use of bold, earthy colors like deep greens and browns is complemented by contrasting shades of blue, giving the piece a dynamic yet harmonious feel. The artist skillfully employs a combination of curvilinear forms and rich textures to create a sense of depth and movement within the composition. Each leaf and fruit is meticulously detailed, displaying a rhythmic pattern that draws the viewer's eye across the canvas. The piece exudes an exotic and captivating energy, inviting one to explore the layered complexity of its natural elements. This art is a celebration of the jungle's abundance, providing a visual feast that is both calming and invigorating. Its unique blend of patterns and colors marks it as a standout representation of nature's intricate beauty.

Presentation
Madeleine Colaço was French, born in Moroccos. To French-American
parents, and became Brazilian through naturalization. She was married to
Portuguese writer Ribeiro Colaço and moved with him to Brazil in 1940.
She studied tapestry in Morocco and in France, and discovered the
embroidery stitch which is known as the "Brazilian Stitch" and is
registered at the Centre International de la Tapisserie in Lausanne,
Switzerland.
She exhibited her tapestries for the first time in Rio de Janeiro in
1963, and from then on, carried out more than 46 solo exhibitions
worldwide: at the Chateau de Lucens in Lausanne, at Galerie Prinzhorn in
Vienna, at the Palais de Congrès in Brussels, at the Maison de
l'Amérique Latine in Monaco, at the Kansas State Museum in the USA, and
at the Musée d'Art Naïf Anatole Jakovsky in Nice, France. On nine
occasions between 1986 and 2007, Galeria Jacques Ardies in São Paulo
held viewings of her new tapestries.
In her words, she declared that: "For me, tapestry is the joy of living.
It's an art that teaches us other arts: (the art of) patience, for
example, or (the art of) research. It was through research that I had
the good fortune of creating the "Brazilian stitch" and being able to
offer it back to Brazil, which has given me so much."
Roberto Pontual wrote: "Her trajectory has always been sunny, luminously
pre-disposed to the warmth of what is festive. Her tapestries, dreamed
visions of the tropics, are unpretentious and exuberant at the same
time".
