Marco Piemonte’s paintings are a combination of abstract and concrete influences, every time leaving us with a doubt of 'what and where?' There are times (in our lives) when something happens at a place that can provoke a memory of another place, even a corner, a sight… somewhere we have been to or seen before. The doubt is embedded within the canvas and leaves us wondering if it is a dream or not, whether that spot of colour is something we know, or if it is just there in that moment, if maybe those are flowers or something that only looks like they could be. Doubt brings into question some notion of a perceived "reality", and may involve delaying or rejecting relevant action out of concern for mistakes, or faults or appropriateness. Sometimes doubt emphasizes the state in which the mind remains suspended between two contradictory propositions restraining it to assent to either of them. An abstract object is an object which does not exist at any particular time or place, but in Marco Piemonte’s paintings the object has its own shadow, therefore it does exist… deeming it “something somewhere”.
