CANEMORTO is a trio of anonymous Italian artists, active since 2007. They wear masks, speak an unknown language and worship a canine deity called Txakurra, which gives them the power to paint together as a single person. The trio spreads this mysterious cult through "six-handed" works that exploit the most diverse media.
