THE ARTWORK
In Valerio Adami’s Pastorale, figures and objects are arranged within dark fields and deep colours. Red, ochre and brown construct a scene traversed by sharp outlines, where recognisable forms coexist with a fragmented structure. Each line seems to separate and connect at the same time.
The lithograph concentrates movement in the interlocking of bodies, instruments and surfaces. The title offers a possible evocative key, but does not confine the image to a single narrative. The eye is invited to follow the outlines, recognising in their continuity the rhythm that holds the composition together.
