Marco Adamo

Adam's painting, characterized by strong and energetic gestures, connects two seemingly opposing worlds, art and sport, creating an innovative bond. His poetics is engaging, captivating, and at the same time particular: this decisive abstract dimension brings him closer to American action painting.

The main instrument of his painting is the ball which, immersed in acrylic paint, is kicked onto the canvas, leaving an indelible mark. This energetic gesture creates a visual dance of color spots, overlapping and blending, creating floating dynamics. The variation in intensity and direction of the kicks gives the work a sense of movement, almost as if it were alive. Each imprint represents a moment frozen in time, an echo of an instantaneous action that translates into a powerful visual language.

That mark somewhat recalls the liveliness of the game, when as children we kicked balls against the wall in response to a particular moment of the day. The harder the kick, the more lasting the mark, and in the same way, Adam's style brings back youthful memories and leaves a lasting imprint within us.

His canvases stand out among works rich in ball strikes and others characterized only by a few pronounced ones, in which there is room for the free expression of thoughts and reflections. The innovative technique of action painting with ball strikes, a unique artistic approach, combines frantic movement and spontaneity, giving rise to a work that captures attention and stimulates the imagination.
