The Hispanic Society Museum & Library is pleased to present Adriana Varejão: Don’t Forget, We Come From the Tropics, an exhibition of new paintings and sculpture by leading Brazilian artist Adriana Varejão. The show features new paintings from Varejão’s acclaimed Plate series and a site-specific outdoor sculptural intervention.

The new works reflect on the Amazonian rainforest as a vital nexus of ecology, art, and culture. Stemming from Varejão’s participation in the inaugural Bienal das Amazônias (2023), they also mark two decades since the artist began conducting research with the Yanomami people in the Amazon basin. The exhibition debuts the latest additions to Varejão’s celebrated Plate series, inspired by historic Palissy ceramics. These large-scale fiberglass tondos boast protruding three-dimensional elements which are hand-sculpted and painted in oil. The front of each plate is adorned with exuberant imagery of Amazonian flora and fauna, while the reverse evokes designs from historic ceramics from the Hispanic Society’s collection and beyond, including Spanish Valenciana, Ottoman Iznik, Ming Dynasty Hongzhi porcelain, and pre-Columbian Amazonian Marajoara pottery.
