ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The “Hidden Cities” series by Francesco D'Adamo was started in 2016 and it's still in progress. These compositions are characterized by the use of large areas of erosion and fracture, obtained with a skilful use of painting materials. The overall structure is buried and re-emerged in a continuous process of redefinition of the visible layers. The Hidden Cities becomes here a metaphor for what finds its own form and identity in the encounter and confrontation with its own historical and temporal context. D'adamo here creates paintings far from being archaeological places, but in continuous evolution. “Each city receives its form from the desert it opposes”, Italo Calvino - “The Invisible Cities”. The painting is signed on back comes ready to hang. It's shipped by the artist in a sturdy and lightweight wooden crate ensuring a safe delivery. "Tiro" is painting n° 38 from the Hidden Cities series.

Painter and musician, Francesco D’Adamo was born in Siena, Italy in 1979 and grew up in Termoli. His first approaches with painting came during his childhood by taking private classes, but it was only after 2006, when he moved to Bologna, that painting came back as a constant and fundamental presence in his life and over time became his main activity. The following years saw his first exhibitions in the city and the participation at various art fairs and events over Europe and Asia. This first decade of painting research brought on Francesco the interest of collectors and art lovers from all over the world and culminated in the prominent solo exhibitions Chimere (2017), Discanto (2018) and Dyssomnia (2019, Hong Kong). These first ten years of work came together in the book “Decade,” published in 2021. His painting research is rooted in the Italian informalism and American abstract expressionism, with particular emphasis to a continuous dialogue between visual and musical language. The sign and its rhythm, layered surfaces, a strong palette and the use of different techniques, they all flow together to create a lyrical and yet deeply concrete image.
