The female figure predominates in the works of Guatemalan visual and performance artist Regina José Galindo and Albanian artist Iva Lulashi. For Galindo, the body depicted is often her own, whereas Lulashi uses paint and canvas to render ambiguous, prurient scenes. ‘Mujer, Mujer, Mujer’ (Woman, Woman, Woman), on view at Alberta Pane Gallery, opposes the artists in a ‘double solo show’ split between the gallery’s two store-front spaces on rue de Montmorency: several works by Galindo are in the main gallery, while Lulashi’s paintings are displayed across the road in the second, slightly narrower space.
