"Many of his portraits incorporate veils or masks of one style or another, all of which contribute to a sense of mystery; that is to say, the essential mysteriousness of mind and heart. Indeed, in very recent portraits simply entitled AM 2022 I, II, and III, the veil or mesh or screen itself seems to be the focus of interest, the thing we notice most because of its pre-eminence. Although we don’t see AM’s or Adamo Macri’s uncovered face, we can examine contours, identify fragments of, or covert allusions to, other works, but the face covering is the inescapable fact. Complete understanding of his shifting identity is ever elusive. And this elusiveness of meaning in a Macri portrait is as important as meaning itself.”
