A 100 x 140 cm screen print frame, six hands painting it simultaneously, four minutes before the colors dry, the impossibility of fully predicting the final result. A compositional structure was agreed upon beforehand but, in the time set, left free to evolve and change in the frenetic rhythm of the brushstrokes. The result is a series of monotypes that, both in sign and subject, embody the essence of CANEMORTO’s pictorial research.
