Neïla Czermak Ichti

Neïla Czermak Ichti (*1996) develops a painting and drawing practice situated at the intersection of personal narrative and fiction. Her works stage seemingly everyday scenes infused with invisible, magical, or symbolic dimensions. Within this universe, monsters and ambivalent presences become protective figures, accompanying stories of transformation, solitude, and transmission. Her work explores inner journeys shaped by intimate and collective histories, particularly traumas and memories passed down through generations.

At sissi club, she is preparing several solo exhibitions, including one at the Palais de Tokyo in 2026. “With her father, the painter Polô Czermak, and the ghosts that surround them, the artist composes an epic that is both intimate and collective. In the haze of her own memories and those of others, she summons buried secrets transformed into legends, unraveling the true from the false, the monstrous from the ordinary, the dream from the nightmare.”
