GALERIE CHLOE SALGADO
Camille Benarab-Lopez , France
"scars/sirens"
Équation 1, Camille Benarab-Lopez, print on aluminium dibond, 70 x 100 cm, 2024.
For her second solo exhibition at GALERIE CHLOE SALGADO, Camille Benarab-Lopez embarked on a journey following the traces of the novel “We Were the Mulvaneys” by Joyce Carol Oates in the region of New York. Her aim was to immerse herself in the organic depth of the text and confront it with her own reality. Her works manifest her back-and-forth between fiction and reality, intimate and universal themes, evoking subjects such as scars and resilience, bonds and cracks.
Camille Benarab-Lopez (1989), a graduate of ENSAD (2014) and ENSBA (2018), explores our relationship to the image, its temporality, and flatness, in both a pictorial and sculptural approach. In response to a world where “content is nothing but more images,” multiplying and intruding even into intimate spaces, the artist aims to contain, preserve, and enclose the flood of invading images through correspondences or dissonances. Impressions, transfers, recompositions, addition or subtraction of material—she gives them a new substance through a series of diverse actions, weaving a narrative in dots and dashes. The image gets lost and recreated, transformed through mediums and techniques, thwarted and fragileized by the successive stages of its construction. In a sudden emergence, it appears to the world in a new, plural, and sensitive way, offering itself to the viewer as an illusory space to decipher.

The gallery
Inaugurated in October 2018, GALERIE CHLOE SALGADO is a contemporary art gallery located in Paris, representing emerging international artists. By working hand in hand with them, the gallery aims to break away from the idea of the gallery as an elitist space, instead offering a space of support, discovery, and sharing, and thus encouraging new generations of collectors and art enthusiasts.
