Adamo Macri
Snake

"When Adamo Macri so pointedly labels one of his portraits Snake, the picture deftly reflecting the title, or vice versa, I am inclined to see not only what the artist presents, but also what I feel and project onto the image. My cultural and individual attitudes towards snakes, as well as my admiration of Macri’s complex art, conjoin to filter my complex perceptions. Like everyone else, I have not grown up in a vacuum. When I reflect and think, especially about Adamo Macri’s multi-textured and multi-layered work, I carry with me whatever I have learned, felt, read, seen, and imagined."
