IXCHEL PRESENTS ‘INTERWOVEN’: A CELEBRATION OF CONTEMPORARY MEXICAN ART
This September, Ixchel, the modern Mexican restaurant and tequila bar on the King’s Road, unveiled Interwoven, a new exhibition celebrating contemporary Mexican female artists, staged as part of the second Chelsea Arts Festival.
Bringing together a diverse group of Mexican artists working across painting, ceramics and textiles, Interwoven explores the many faces and visual languages of contemporary Mexican womanhood. The exhibition features works by Alicia Paz, Ana Benavides, Andrea Segura, Paola Estrella, Regina Torres, and Rita Fernández, transforming Ixchel’s lower-ground-floor space into a living gallery until the 30th of November.
The exhibition takes its name and inspiration from Ixchel, the Maya goddess after whom the restaurant is named. A deity of many faces and associations, Ixchel is closely connected with weaving – the art of bringing individual threads together to create a single, interconnected piece.
Interwoven takes this idea as its starting point, bringing together distinct artists, practices and perspectives and weaving them into one collective exhibition. Displayed within the convivial surroundings of Ixchel rather than a traditional gallery, the works become part of a space already designed around gathering, conversation and contemporary Mexican culture.
Alongside the featured artists, Interwoven welcomes Casa Agape, a Latin American talent house representing the region’s creative voices. Textile works by Caralarga and Onora are woven throughout the exhibition, adding another dimension to its exploration of material, craft and Mexican identity.
All works featured in Interwoven are available to purchase.
Interwoven is curated by Valeria Nikitina in collaboration with Ixchel, Condesa Gin and Art Circles.
