Adam Frezza & Terri Chiao are an American artist duo whose work explores play and craft across a range of media, including painted sculpture, installation, collage, photography, design, and public art. Also known as CHIAOZZA (rhymes with "wowza" or "yowza"), Adam and Terri have exhibited their collaborative work in solo exhibitions in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles, in numerous group shows around the US, and in a variety of art and design venues internationally. The studio was founded in 2011 and is based in New York City.
On view at the Institute of Contemporary Art, colorful, bulbous forms evoke a small grove of abstracted fruit trees with ripe, fallen fruit scattered below. The painted paper pulp sculptures in Pair, Pare, Pear encapsulate Brooklyn-based collaborative CHIAOZZA’s study of plant forms, reducing tree shapes to a combination of cylinders and spheres.
