#XippasParis #ChechuAlava Opening tomorrow at Xippas Paris! Chechu Álava - The Hall of Mirrors 25.04.26 → 06.06.26 👉 Opening Saturday April 25, 2026 from 3 to 8 pm. Xippas Paris 108 rue Vieille du Temple, 75003, Paris, France - - - How can one express feminist and social commitment through painting? How can one respond to everyday life while remaining so deeply rooted in art history and in dialogue with the masters of the past? These are the questions Chechu Álava poses, without imposing answers, in her second solo exhibition at Xippas Gallery in Paris. Other works, smaller in scale or in a vertical, phone-like format, reflect the artist’s presence in relation to the world and to social media. Questioning the jarring proximity between makeup tutorials and images of children mutilated by various conflicts, she has seized upon this tragic reality and the time-consuming trivialities that sadly inhabit our daily lives. Through gracefully graduated tones, sometimes highlighted with gold or an almost fluorescent color, and her subtly blurred brushwork, she removes immediate narrative, making the original medium almost disappear.  - Marie Maertens - - - Image: 1.
