CANEMORTO is an anonymous trio of Italian artists active since 2007. They wear masks, speak an unknown language, and worship a canine deity called Txakurra, who grants them the power to paint as one. The trio spread the message of this mysterious cult through ‘six-handed’ projects across diverse media.
