"Working in monotone, Piemonti gives the viewer a shorthand version of reality. Drawing and painting are one and the same in these works.The artist provides clear information about his motifs but then obscures them with a network of lines, not unlike interference in a TV’s reception before cable. These are upbeat pictures and the two series of flowers and people relate to each other. Branches connect blossoms on a tree, while the connection between people is subtler but is no less real. The overlay of lines provides a visual connection".
