Cecilia Beaven: Flickering Cocoon
@ Hyde Park Art Center
5020 S Cornell Ave, Chicago, IL 60615
On view through Sunday, April 6th
Interdisciplinary artist Cecilia Beaven creates mystical environments and narratives through her large graphic wall paintings. Her paintings and sculptures first appeared at the Art Center in Ground Floor (2020) and continued to develop on site during a Radicle Residency (2021). This exhibition will feature a new temporary mural, drawings, and small clay and papier mache sculptures by Beaven featuring the women-centered worlds she has been illustrating over the past five years.
Flickering Cocoon is the companion exhibition to Semilla concurrently on view in the Xicágo Gallery at the National Museum of Mexican Art from October 24, 2024 until March 30, 2025. Through this institutional collaboration of two solo exhibitions presenting new murals by Cecilia Beaven, the artist reflects on her journey from Mexico to Chicago and the creative communities that sustain her evolving art practice.
We invite you to deepen your experience by visiting the National Museum of Mexican Art, where you’ll encounter Cecilia’s profound connection with Mexico and better understand how it has shaped her work. This exhibition reflects her roots and the vibrant culture that inspires her creations.
