Valerio Adami's artistic career develops over sixty-five years, between Italy and France. He began with an Expressionist style influenced by Francis Bacon and Abstract Painting. Later he arrived at a Pop-style figuration, developing a comic narrative where fantastic and ironic visions of depersonalized interiors populated by banal objects, symbols of modernity, prevail.
Imaginative and ironic, much loved by philosophers, the Italian artist almost always prefers large formats with a strong visual impact. His style has in some respects been assimilated to that of Roy Lichtenstein. Yet Adami remains a European painter.
His images, sophisticated visual metaphors, contain philosophical, literary and mythological concepts, and are offered as a reflection on the evolution of Western thought. The exhibition is created in collaboration with the Valerio Adami Archive.
The itinerary includes over a hundred photographs from the Ballo+Ballo studio, founded by Aldo Ballo and Marirosa Toscani, some design objects and some original objects belonging to the two photographers, as well as vintage magazines with which the Ballos collaborated and volumes containing their photographs.
A new movie starring Bvlgari Global Brand Ambassador Priyanka Chopra Jonas and produced by Atomic Production and directed by Andrea Rovetta, gives viewers an unprecedented view of Bvlgari Hotel Roma, taking them behind the scenes to discover the craftsmanship and culture that inspired the property.
