Foto di Ben Shahn
1979
A dynamic composition rendered in bold ink lines and translucent washes of watercolour, this work pays homage to the American social realist photographer and artist Ben Shahn. Adami's signature graphic style reduces form to sharp, defined contours filled with flat planes of colour, evoking both the visual language of comic illustration and modernist painting. The piece reflects Adami's ongoing dialogue with cultural figures and artistic legacy, transforming photographic reference into a distinctly personal and stylized visual statement.
