Adam Bilardi

Born 1995, lives and works in Paris.

The duality in Adam Bilardi’s painting takes several forms. It is the mirroring effect through the presence of two types of main characters : men and dogs, but also the representation of conflict and attachment and the importance of the dawn and dusk lights which the artist likes to translate in his colour palette. Adam Bilardi questions the concepts of love, loss and lack through ambiguous representations of embrace and eroticism. His work moves back and forth between tenderness and violence. Physical contact is omnipresent in his paintings, like a relational struggle or a fight with oneself. His paintings are like maps of the world with its flat areas of color, its lands, its seas, and its deserts.
