Expanding on his Vinyl Paintings, Giorno began making black and white paintings on canvas in the early 2010’s. Each painting was produced as a silkscreen on canvas using curt and contradictory messages excerpted from his poetry—imperative, deadpan, sacred, profane.
Giorno chose 26 phrases for the Black + White Paintings.
