Valerio ADAMI « INTERNO PUBBLICO 1 », 1969 Huile sur toile signée, titrée et datée au dos 1/2/69-17/9/69 239 x 362 cm 180 000/200000€ Provenance : - Collection Sofia Rangel, Carracas - Timothy Taylor Gallery, Londres - Collection particulière, Paris Exposition : « Valerio Adami, les années 60 », Galerie Laurent Strouk, Paris, 2012, reproduit dans le catalogue de l’exposition, page 22 Bibliographie : « Adami », Studio Marconi, éditions Maeght, Milan-Paris, 1974, reproduit sous le n°74 page 181 C’est en 1966 que Adami établit définitivement son système formel, où une ligne épaisse qui dans le temps se modulera et/ou s’affinera en fonction de sa résonance avec les champs de couleur jouxtant, cerne les objets et les personnages traités en aplats de couleur pure et sans ombres. C’est aussi en 1966 qu’Adami, installé au Chelsea Hotel à New York prend une série de photos de lieux urbains le plus souvent anonymes ou sans vie, prélude à toute une série d’évocation d’espaces dont « Interno pubblico uno » de 1969 fait partie. Le peintre nous dit « Je voudrais que mes tableaux soient vus de la même manière que se compose, selon Mac Luhan, une image télévisuelle : à raison de trois millions de stimulations à la seconde ». C’est ici affirmé que le tableau aussi est un capteur d’ondes électomagnétiques qui se composent, se décomposent ou se recomposent en aplats de couleur variables selon l’intensité des contrastes en faisant participer le spectateur qui devrait se trouve impliqué selon Adami dans quelque chose qui est encore en train d’arriver. « Interno pubblico uno », vaste fresque de plus de deux mètres par trois illustre magistralement ce lieu qu’est le tableau, de propositions complexes sous l’apparence d’une structure formelle simple d’aplats de couleurs sans ombres cernés de traits noirs s’articulant sur un plan dont l’équilibre relief-profondeur semble flotter ou s’inverser, accords concertés formant de nouvelles associations, où la distinction espace ouvert espace fermé, intérieur « interno » et extérieur, espace public et espace privé se trouve brouillée tout en étant coextensive et complémentaire. « Une image s’étend à une autre nous dit l’artiste et sa forme originale est en continuelle transformation ». Adami dessine la forme de l’objet et la manière dont elle s’offre à la vue. Le tableau ne raconte pas une histoire, il est partie prenante de l’histoire qu’il fait, interludes, intermèdes, séquences font intervenir le spectateur qui interagit avec la scène ou le lieu dont la peinture se veut l’évocation autant que l’expression. Le tableau est une sorte de matrice ou d’opus operatum autant qu’opus operandi en continuelle gestation. Adami, sous l’apparence d’accords rigoureux de plans qui n’empêchent pas des distorsions de l’image visuelle comme les silences auditifs autant que rétiniens, le calme loin de toute agitation désordonnée et stérile dont ses tableaux sont le manifeste, est un peintre profond et rare dont le propos principal, riche et complexe se dissimule sous une simplicité formelle feinte.
