Something

Something, solo show of Giuseppe Adamo curated by Helga Marsala. It is the first solo exhibition for Giuseppe Adamo in the spaces of the Rizzuto Gallery. A step that comes after more than a year of cooperation, including fairs and outdoor projects. A moment of reflection around his most recent work, the result of a patient experimentation on the surface, on the processes of abstraction and the nature of image, but also the presentation of some new ideas, in the perennial formal research on painting itself.

On display a series of paintings on canvas of different sizes, in which a personal dynamic is defined between dissolution and research of shape, depth and surface, close look and a bird's eye observation, landscape and detail.

A series of layers, thresholds, passages, veils lead to the definition of abstract images that however let glimpse a hint of shapes and objects, or just fragments with organic look. Thus the painting gives itself by means of scratches, transparencies, engravings, cracks, emerged residues or submerged signs, always undefined and changeable.

The exhibition title references a track on the Coil album and embodies "vagueness, the indeterminacy, the radical openness" of works that continuously shift between form and abstraction. The paintings operate between "apocalypse and new creation," exploring the ineffable nature of artistic genesis.
