Piffaretti’s fourth solo exhibition with Lisson Gallery debuts a new body of work along with a revisitation of paintings from his past. The act of looking back is central to Piffaretti’s method, whether it is immediately, as is the case with his mirrored, two-canvas foundations, or historically, with references to past artists and to his own previous bodies of work. Including sometimes subtle and sometimes overt references to motifs found in the paintings of French Modernism and 20th Century American Art, ‘Pick Up’ presents a recurring situation that instructs the viewer to look for a second time.
