Chiachio & Giannone are Leo Chiachio and Daniel Giannone. Both Argentinian they live and work together in Buenos Aires. Originally trained in painting they moved into hand embroidery where they use a dazzling array of colour and stitches as they redefine the traditional family portrait into a riot of colour and technique. Epic in scale, their work incorporates elements of magical realism and a sense of humour. They simultaneously reflect the changes in society while demonstrating an encyclopaedic knowledge of stitch.
