"Excessive", a solo exhibition by Argentinean artist Chaval will feature three assemblages of paintings depicting Chaval's signature characters "Pipu", a post chemical war mutant butterfly and "Pepo", a genetically manipulated walking pet, situated in a different time and space. For his second solo exhibition at Lunarbase, Chaval has created over 40 individual paintings in various mediums which interact each other to compose three scenarios: 1) Cupid Attack, 2) Villa Pera, and 3) Gotta Pepo?
