Pietro adamo gallery autographs through the mail list

He abandons the normal drawings of geometric forms through his textured surfaces and rough contours.

Pietro Adamo clearly delights in the unbridled, intuitive nature of his forms that enable him to evoke sensations and emotions.

As a result, Adamo creates beautiful pop-culture graffiti abstracts. The artist begins each piece by creating the texture in the work, and then layers the acrylic ground color on top. He uses modeling pastes and various gel mediums combined with silica sand to create the unique texture within his pieces. He has, at times, even used a stucco plaster.

The artist sands the work, paints an additional color layer with oil veneers, washes, or conte crayons, and then sands again. Pietro Adamo was born in Toronto, Canada in After graduation from the University of Toronto and Sheridan, he took a position teaching art in Toronto. While there, Adamo helped establish a strong visual arts department, one which saw many of his students go on to become architects, designers, illustrators and fine artists.

Adamo draws influence from artists of all periods and from the world around him. Travel is an important source of inspiration; especially trips to Italy, his ancestral homeland. During his stays, Adamo explores monumental art and architecture as well as the simple rural landscape.
