description: Continually reexamining and re-presenting Brazil's cultural history, Adriana Varejao constructs sculptural paintings that often take the fragmented or eviscerated human body as their subject. Extremely tactile and often saturated in blood-red hues, Varejao's highly visceral work recalls the pain and pleasure that accompanies both colonialism and the creative process.
