Asola, Italy, 1961. Lives and works in Milan.

Stefano Arienti employs comic books, plastic shopping bags, telephone directories, train timetables, vinyl products, slides, posters, books, fabrics, carpets: all of these objects have their own functions, their own meanings. He appropriates these

forms, appraising, re-examining and dissecting them. Arienti penetrates their hackneyed imagery and brings it back to life.
