This weekend marks the last chance to visit the exhibition by Irun-born artist Susana Ferreira at the Menchu Gal exhibition hall in Irun. The show, featuring 32 pieces centered on the Old Customs House, has been a public success, attracting 673 visitors so far. For the artist herself, this space, rich with memory, serves as a starting point to explore the traces of time and the city's transformation processes.
Visiting hours are from 18:00h to 21:00h on Friday, July 24th. On Saturday, July 25th, and Sunday, July 26th, the hall will be open from 11:30h to 13:30h. Additionally, on Sunday at 12:00h, the artist herself will lead a guided tour of the exhibition.
This exhibition transforms the interior spaces of the Old Customs House into a visual reflection on the passage of time, memory, and urban transformation. Susana Ferreira focuses much of her work on architectural and urban spaces, playing with light, shadow, and geometry. Her pieces illustrate how spaces retain memory and how perception alters what appears empty or frozen in time.
The Irun-based artist imbues the landscape with the character of a stage where life enacts its glories and tragedies. Her perspective as an architect permeates the entire exhibition, revealing spaces marked by past scars, illuminated by the present, and hinting at future possibilities.
Susana Ferreira is an architect and painter from Irun, born in 1976, recognized for her artistic work deeply influenced by architecture, light, and urban spaces. Her art combines architectural sensitivity with a contemporary vision marked by chiaroscuro, textures, and the depiction of urban and architectural environments.
