Juan Oyarbide's inaugural solo exhibition as a painter, titled Urban Bodies ( URBO), showcases a collection of 20 art pieces crafted between 2012 and 2024. This display encompasses a diverse range of artworks, spanning from intricate pencil drawings to expansive murals. Notably, among these exhibits is a remarkable 6x7m canvas piece portraying the URBO mural.

The central theme explored throughout URBO revolves around the interplay between human nature and the urban landscape. The project delves into the intricate connections between anatomical and cultural aspects of the human body, considering how these elements manifest within the cityscape, which has become our new natural environment.

To enhance the viewer's experience, the exhibition incorporates audiovisual content, presenting the studies and sketches that have played a pivotal role in Oyarbide's artistic process during this pictorial journey.

URBO comes to life in London first, aiming to then travel to Athens and San Sebastian. These three distinct cities, each situated in different countries with unique cultural landscapes, form the cornerstone of this creation. The vibrant and diverse art scene in London, the blend of Mediterranean mythology and painting in Athens, and the rich artistic tradition of Basque and Spanish art found in San Sebastian, all converge to shape the essence of URBO. It is within this fundamental triangle that the creative vision of Juan Oyarbide flourished, drawing inspiration from these multifaceted cultural and artistic backgrounds.
