UIC Gallery 400 40th anniversary
26 OCTOBER 2023 - 17 NOVEMBER 2023Notes
Persiana, 2014 is a graphic work that was produced for the 1st solo survey of Arocha-Schraenen at CC Mechelen. The title and image come from their first work made in collaboration, Persiana I, 2006. This work is consistent with their interests as individual artists as well as their work together. The idea of speculation, seduction and beauty is embedded in this work.

They joined forces in 2005 and have exhibited worldwide at Monique Meloche, Chicago; Fermay, Mallorca; Parisa Kind, Franfurt; CAB, Burgos; BOZAR, Busssels.
