"Adamo Macri (Canada) truly worth watching this video such intricate detail is thought- provoking through and through."

"Bearing seemingly disparate objects and fabrications and placing them rooted in the human male face the way you do makes your work as challenging as it is mythic."

"A cursory look at his online portfolio will reveal brilliant and often startling images of the interaction between human and plant, a manipulation of organic matter as small as seeds to stunning effect, as well as the microscopic activity of chemical reactions. A study of the Exuviae and Epizoochory series, or a specific portrait like Hinterland, reveals Macri’s deep affiliation with the grace, paradoxes and multiplicity of natural phenomena. Not coincidentally, the human character in Epizoochory sports a mesh veil similar to that worn in the triffid portraits."

"Studying other works of art by Adamo Macri, I see how fascinated the artist is with the notion of gender fluidity and cross-fertilization of species, and the use of disparate, paradoxical parts to create a new, stunning whole. I look at the strange, quasi-human creature in a symbolic sea lurking among the fronds in the Epizoochory series. I say "sea" because of the plant life stirred by currents rather than breeze, and the green colour in the background of several, even though there are seed images brilliantly lit by yellow."
