Dès 1963, Adami élabore son langage plastique. Il fusionne de façon magistrale les influences de l’imaginaire surréaliste de Wifredo Lam et de Roberto Matta à la nostalgie du Cubisme d’Alberto Magnelli et de Juan Gris dans des œuvres très graphiques marquées par des dislocations formelles. Paradoxalement la découverte de la fragmentation du dessin cubiste lui a permis de confirmer ses ambitions classiques par la description de l’objet dans une réalité physique complexe et simultanée. La fragmentation de l’espace, les effets de relief et de tridimensionnalité vont laisser la place à une ligne serpentine et sensuelle dans des suites de formes closes. Il joue sur les juxtapositions, les mélanges, la fusion des idées, des émotions, des impulsions avec toujours la ligne qui est le véritable paraphe de son esthétique. Cette ligne très accusée est le point de départ et la fin du dessin, elle signe son style, c’est son écriture. Ce cerné, ce trait contour, enserre aussi bien les événements historiques, les paysages, les portraits de célébrités et mène du réel au symbolique, à une sorte d’allégorie culturelle aussi bien que personnelle. Peintre de la vie moderne par excellence, acteur incontournable de la Figuration narrative, Adami étudie l’urbanité intime en même temps que collective. Son œuvre fascine car elle nous fait prendre conscience que cet univers de choses visibles dans lequel nous travaillons, nous habitons, nous voyageons, nous vivons, nous aimons... reflète aussi notre solitude, notre enfermement face à nous-même.
Since 1963, Adami elaborates his plastic language. He merges in a masterly way the influences of the surrealist imagination of Wifredo Lam and Roberto Matta with the nostalgia of Cubism of Alberto Magnelli and Juan Gris in very graphic works marked by formal dislocations. Paradoxically, the discovery of the fragmentation of Cubist drawing allowed him to confirm his classical ambitions by describing the object in a complex and simultaneous physical reality. The fragmentation of space, the effects of relief and three-dimensionality will give way to a serpentine and sensual line in suites of closed forms. He plays on juxtapositions, mixtures, the fusion of ideas, emotions, impulses with always the line which is the true initials of his aesthetic. This very sharp line is the starting point and the end of the drawing, it signs his style, it is his writing. This outline, this contour line, encloses historical events, landscapes, portraits of celebrities and leads from the real to the symbolic, to a kind of cultural as well as personal allegory. A painter of modern life par excellence, a key player in the Figuration Narrative, Adami studies the intimate and collective urbanity. His work fascinates because it makes us aware that this universe of visible things in which we work, we live, we travel, we live, we love ... also reflects our solitude, our confinement to ourselves.
