URBO - Urban Bodies - An art exhibition about the intricate connections between the anatomical and cultural identities of the human bodies within the contemporary urban environment.
Juan Oyarbide's inaugural solo exhibition as a painter, titled Urban Bodies ( URBO), showcases a collection of 34 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.
