A Grande Curva by Adriana Varejão is a striking oil and plaster work on canvas that features ruptured, wound-like surfaces where layers of blue-and-white tilework appear to burst open, revealing raw, flesh-like interiors beneath. The Brazilian artist merges the decorative tradition of Portuguese azulejo tiles with visceral, corporeal imagery, creating a tension between beauty and violence. The thick, sculptural application of plaster gives the work a three-dimensional physicality that blurs the boundary between painting and relief sculpture.
