"We play a lot on the border between reality and fiction," say the three Canemorto members. The artists hail from Milan, Como, and Brianza and formed their trio nearly two decades ago, when they were young art students. The members remain anonymous to honour the collective—and for legal purposes. Their early endeavours tended to test the limits of the law, like that involved painting images of Canemorto's invented canine patron saint, 'Txakurra', throughout Lisbon.
"All our work is based on this fictional evolving story, like a cartoon or a television series," the Canemorto members say. "Each project is like a new episode." Those projects increasingly bridge guerilla and fine art, from a pizzeria offering pies shaped like Txakurra in Ghent, Belgium, to more traditional plein air paintings in Reggio Emilia, Italy last year.
