Latitude Art Gallery invites you to join us to view pieces by our newest Gallery artist, Pietro Adamo.

To Pietro Adamo art is ultimately about expression. It is his way of liberating all his ideas and feelings. To realize this expression he has developed the careful and sophisticated language of his paintings. It is complexity that is essential to Adamo’s work. Though his pieces are beautiful and captivating, he believes that what makes them so is the evidence of struggle underneath.

Adamo says that even after decades of dedicating himself to his art, he is still nervous each time he approaches a new canvas. This nervousness, butterflies as he described them, are necessary to propel his creativity and imagination. Once he begins, he becomes fully immersed and it is then that a rich exchange of creative thoughts can begin to take place and unfold in a multitude of colours and brush strokes across the canvas. It is this underlying exchange that draws viewers in and holds not just their gaze, but their thoughts and emotions, connecting them to the artwork.
