Valerio Adami (Bologna, March 17, 1935) is an Italian painter.
Starting from an expressionist painting influenced by the work of Francis Bacon and then by an abstract – gestural painting, he later posed the problem of the recovery of resolved figuration, according to the modules of American Pop Art and in particular Roy Lichtenstein, developing a kind of fantastic and ironic comic strip story where in depersonalized interiors are arranged banal objects, taken as symbols, even sexual, of modernity.
The style is distinguished in the use of a chromatic matter in flat, smooth and continuous layering within the sharp black fences of drawing.
