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.
