The entire façade of a house of Amsterdam exposed at Cosmic Galerie, undermining the conventions of both painting and architecture. Its title "It takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back" is a reference to the mythical album of the rap group "Public Enemy" and expresses the idea that almost nothing can stop this artist.

The skeleton adorned with Piero GOLIA's attributes (diamond inlaid into a tooth, rings) seems to suggest that art is not only the place of all possible, but also the place to indelibly inscribe one's presence in history. Maybe not Even a Nation of Millions : afterall there may be nothing, really nothing, that can stop Piero GOLIA.
