Histórias Moldadas, an exhibition of new paintings by Adriana Varejão. Opening in Gagosian Athens on May 15, this marks her first exhibition in Greece, and her fourth with the gallery. Histórias Moldadas features four new bodies of painting from Varejão’s Tile series, inspired by Brazilian, Greek, Turkish, and Chinese ceramic traditions.

Embracing Baroque elements of parody, paradox, tension, and excess, Varejão creates sculptural paintings that rupture the surface and painterly sculptures imbued with vibrant drama. Her works challenge our understanding of artistic mediums while subverting established histories of art and culture.
