Adamo Macri
Ordain, 2016

"Perusing a recent Macri portrait, Ordain, I am impressed by the presence of hair and its contribution to the overall effect and purpose of the image. Neither arbitrary in his selection of style nor oblivious to the contribution hair makes, Macri is not a barber or stylist posting pictures in his salon and inviting clients to have their hair cut in the same way for a fee. As a well-informed artist, he is fully conscious of the ancient and contemporary meanings attributed to hair, and each portrait testifies to his careful arrangement of locks, tresses, curls and waves, and at times, approximations of baldness."
