Long-term residency
May 2019 - April 2022
Aldo Urbano, 1991
Aldo Urbano Perez has a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona. In his work he creates enigmas whose ultimate meaning escapes him, especially himself. Through painting, he investigates the mechanisms of perception in search of a renovating experience, creating installations in which this type of experience may be possible. His work also drifts towards drawing and writing, with which he adopts narrative forms similar to comics in which irony and humour are present.
He has shown his work individually in exhibitions such as “El mismo color […]” (Bombon Projects, 2017), “Durante un experimento alrededor […]” (EtHall, 2018) or “Imitar el movimiento de un espejismo” (Galeria Balaguer, 2016), and has participated in collective projects such as the Composicions programme (together with Anna Dot, 2018), “Assumpte: una forta intuïció” (with Daniel Moreno, MNAC, 2018), “Falla” (with Ayelen Perenessi, Fundació Arranz Bravo, 2016), “El 85% de la matèria” (Centre d’Art Maristany, 2017) or “Tinta fresca” (Centre d’Art La Panera 2018). He has been selected to participate in artistic residencies such as Sandarbh Artist Residency (India, 2014) or Can Serrat (Catalonia, 2016), and his work has been recognized with the GAC Award to the emerging artist 2018, the Guasch Coranty Grant 2014 or the editing grant of the Sala d’Art Jove.
