dirty movie, 2024

The painting titled dirty movie (2024) was inspired by childhood memories of the artist watching television with her family—and suddenly seeing hypersexualized women on screen. There are many familiar symbols floating in the fleshy ether of this painting, including chones—a genderless Spanish word for underwear—text, pants, and keyholes—a new character in chehayeb’s lexicon that references sexuality.
