In this striking diptych, Angelo Filomeno renders a king and queen through his signature medium of intricate embroidery, combining lustrous silk moiré with the cool weight of hematite, stainless steel, and glittering crystals. The pairing of opulent materials with meticulous needlework creates a tension between the ancient craft of embroidery and the dark, almost macabre elegance that defines Filomeno's practice. The result is a work that feels simultaneously regal and unsettling, elevating themes of power and mortality through its rich, layered surfaces.
