**Carlo Piemonti**

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 of people who are engaged in everyday activities, but they seem isolated. The uniform orange color and bands of lines that overly the simply drawn people unifies the series.
