Polvo is the name of a set of paints conceived and created by Adriana. The starting point for the creation of this work was a survey carried out by the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) in 1976. Normally, the official Brazilian census classified people into five different groups according to their skin color: white, black, red, yellow and brown. That year, however, the household research introduced an open-ended question: “What color are you?” The results included 136 terms, some of them unusual, whose meanings were much more figurative than literal. The artist selected 33 of the most exotic and poetic terms, or those linked to a specifically Brazilian interpretation of color as a social supposition, and used them as a basis for creating her own oil paints based on skin tones. This gave rise to the colors Fogoió [Fox on Fire Red], Enxofrada [Angry Sulphur], Café com leite [Milky Coffee], Branquinha [Snow White], Burro quando foge [Faded Fawn], Cor firme [Steady Color], Morenão [Big Black Dude], Encerada [Buffed] and Queimada de sol [Sun Kissed], among others.
The most immediate result of this process is an art object – a box with 33 tubes of paint and careful industrial technology, in a bilingual version (a multiple work in a limited edition of 200 copies). Varejão also presents a series of paintings, entitled Polvo Portraits (China Series), made using these paints, assembled into a large panel. The works are portraits of Adriana herself, but they are not exactly self-portraits, since portrait painters, on commission, executed them.
