Chechu Alava @ Cob Gallery
3 February 2022 - 5 March 2022
A Timeless Story brings to Chechu Álava’s canon a focus on the representation of female literary and poetic icons to examine the position of women in a male-dominated literary sphere. In her portrait series, these extraordinary historic figures are bound together by their rebellious pursuit for individual artistic expression, bringing the feminine experience to the fore. A Timeless Story signifies Álava’s retelling of a broader story of female representation across time, and pays tribute to the traditions found within the history of painting, which Álava refers to as her “inexhaustible, endless and timeless source material”.
