By vertically dividing the canvas into two equal halves creating the right-side as the original and the left-side its copy, Piffaretti has shaped his oeuvre into a multi-perplexing paradox that runs the gamut of painting’s canon while forming the quintessential Duchampian question to the audience.<br /><br />The rigor and restraints of Bernard Piffaretti’s practice is riddled with the interruption, or pause, from its initiating mark—the formal constant of the painted-vertical line—that equally connects and separates the whole of the canvas. The paintings’ conception prompts a metaphorical plurality to the viewer on the creation of the pictorial image, the role of thinking in form, and the questions of negation and reaffirmation of the act of painting through the systematic role of copying to once more reveal what was already known. Unlike many of his contemporaries relaying on the power of the mechanical reproductive image, and the objective truth as presented in the photograph, Piffaretti posits himself into the endless variation of form as a traditional painter, acknowledging his strong conceptual threading, the thoughts within his paintings, and their relationship to space and time bearing the weight of the artist’s infinite dualities<br /><a href="http://www.cherryandmartin.com/exhibitions/126"><i><br /></i></a><a href="http://www.cherryandmartin.com/exhibitions/126"><i>(text taken from here)</i></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">------------------</div> “My painting is built around a great paradox: To deny in order to better assert.

Inspired by materials from earlier periods, she designs frames of carved and gilded silver platinum or gold, and tables lacquered with rare mineral pigments. She also works with Bronze as table bases sconces or mirror frames. This, combined with the use of<i><b> modern materials dramatically reinvents methods which glow in brilliant colours</b></i> and shades. So using new techniques, she achieves a fresh and modern result, and a strangely classic style. Of Canadian birth she was educated at the National College of Art in Dublin , with further study at the Slade School of Art London. Her London studio is well established with private patronage <a href="http://www.chastel-marechal.com/en/artists/marianna-kennedy/17/287"><i>(via here)</i></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">--------------------------</div><br /><span style="background-color: #999999;"></span> Young man in a quiet place Got a hawk on his arm He loves that bird.
