ARTIST/INFO: Adami is recognized internationally as an important European artist. In his early Pop-related works, he offers us views of isolated fragments of modern society in which objects are taken out of perspective and context to allow us to see them anew. He is also the subject of critical studies by Jacques Derrida, Italo Calvino, Jean-Francois Lyotard and others. Adami is the maestro of the unadulterated line, writes the Swedish poet Lasse Söderberg in his reflection on the Italian artist, whose fame has now spread far beyond the fertile, undulating landscape of his native Bologna. After more than half a century of working creatively, Adami has evolved his own iconography, an ingenious pictorial language that embraces both past and present, and within whose frontiers strange creatures keep company with famous faces from history.
