Scène de genres

Opening preview Thursday, March 20th, in presence of the artist
5 – 8 pm

Arnaud Adami focuses on the world of labor. His paintings, portraits, genre scenes, and still-lives highlight individuals—such as employees of Deliveroo or Uber Eats—who play an essential role in our daily lives but often go unnoticed. Informed by his own experience working occasionally for such companies, his art reflects this new social reality. Drawing inspiration from aristocratic portraiture, he has created a series of intimate works that are almost photographic in their realism. His subjects, whose first names title their portraits, proudly pose for the painter. They appear powerful, solid, and centered, as if invested with a vital mission. Arnaud Adami pays tribute to them by portraying them as everyday heroes, while underscoring the stark contrast between the indispensable nature of their work and their precarious lives.Arnaud Adami (b. 1995, Lannion, FR) lives and works in Paris, FR.
