The new body of work of Belgian collaborative duo Aline Bouvy / John Gillis consists of canvases that mix embroidery with oil painting, found objects and collage. They depict urban scenarios and quotidian figures in a stylised faux-Primitivist manner attentive to social iconography as well as to the magnification of the body. The violence of the subjects collide with the meticulousness of their needlework and the use of precious, colorful textiles.
