Adriana Varejão Featured in Almeida & Dale’s Booth at ArtRio 2024

Almeida & Dale's group show curatorship at ArtRio 2024 features "Carne à la Taunay" [Meat à la Taunay] by Adriana Varejão. In this piece, Varejão reflects on Brazil's colonial history, using as a base the painting “Vista tirada do Morro da Glória” (1820) by Nicolas-Antoine Taunay.

The artist intervenes in the original landscape, transforming the idyllic image into something visceral. Fragments of the painting are presented as "meat," served on decorated plates, evoking the colonial trauma of a land that was occupied and consumed.

In addition to Adriana Varejão, our booth features works by women in Brazilian art from the 1920s to the present day, including Tarsila do Amaral, Anna Maria Maiolino, and Beatriz Milhazes.
