Valerio Adami

*Senza Titolo* revisits the theme of travel, a subject dear to Valerio Adami. Broken down and fragmented according to the composition of the space, the subject is disjointed and restructured into a powerful synthesis. A bold line outlines the various planes thus created, as if they were pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. The colours are applied in broad, flat areas, without shading. For Adami, “the painting is a complex proposition where previous visual experiences form unpredictable combinations; the imagination proceeds by association, one image becomes the next and the original form is constantly transformed.” In addition to travel, his favourite themes include the world of consumerism (shop windows, bathrooms, metro compartments…) as well as “portraits” of celebrities (Freud, Joyce, Lenin, Nietzsche, Mahler, Gandhi…) and allegories.
