The research on  shape, space and time, is very important for the artist and bings him close to the most recent scientific history from ‘theory of relativity’ to the discoveries in astrophysics. 

“Abele Vadacca, class 1964, student of Floriano Bodini, of Tuscany he best know Carrara, for not difficult motives to be understood. The marble is his  preferred material ,  and  on the Apuanes he has met and known colleagues of the caliber of Giacomo Manzù and Henry Moore. Of this last he still remembers the humility from artisan teacher that characterized him, united to the attention for the small and little forms of the nature – shells, ecc.- him that is known to the public for certain mastodontic artworks.
Of course, you will look for in vain naturally among the works of Abele direct references to Moore, or to other teachers, because its aesthetical run is absolutely personal. Look, on his web site, all the variations on the already mentioned topic of the feather. Look at his monumental artworks , like the beautiful  Maternità. Or to his pictorial works in which every time seems to give in to the temptation to leave the figurative, but at least dive to the figurative remains faithful, not without giving new shape to its forms that results in completely new interpretations.” Paolo Marini Journalist
