Valerio Adami: Rethinking Display | Dep Art Gallery

Italian pop artist Valerio Adami, influenced by pop art, used daily life as the theme of his early paintings, and used black lines to divide and surround flat blocks of color in his oil paintings. Since the late 1960s, he has mainly painted portraits of historical themes. These characters are artists or writers who fill his spiritual world, full of irony or lyricism. In the 1970s, Adami's creations expanded to the scope of history, and after the 1980s, he even traced back to the French Revolution in the late 18th century. This exhibition focuses on the artist's representative works created between the 1970s and 2000.
