Steve Turner presents Paradise, an exhibition consisting of textile paintings by Chiachio & Giannone that depict the artists and their children (three dachshunds) within festive settings that convey a joyful celebration of life. The duo painstakingly embroidered their invented scenes on canvases revealing their extraordinary perseverance and irreverence in choosing to paint with unconventional materials. They reuse materials from older textiles which they acquire on their many travels. In doing so, old becomes new, and from routine, the artists have built their own paradise stitch by stitch.
Chiachio & Giannone, is a duo of artists formed by Leo Chiachio (born 1969, Buenos Aires) and Daniel Giannone (born 1964, Córdoba) who have been working collaboratively since 2003.
