Andoni Euba Art Exhibition at Juan Manuel Lumbreras Gallery in Bilbao

This exhibition presents a selection of seven paintings from a long-term urban intervention project initiated by artist Andoni Euba in 2018. The works, which originally populated an outdoor street setting in Bilbao, are recontextualized within the gallery space to explore the physical and linguistic properties of painting.

The exhibition 'ARETXAGA – MIRIBILLA. A Place Project, since 2018' centers on an ongoing, multifaceted creative endeavor by Andoni Euba that began when the artist sought to transform an urban space into a painterly context. Funded by the Bilbao City Council, the project originally involved the creation of a triptych on a street, featuring a permanent mural and rotating canvases that responded to the public environment. By moving these works from the studio and the street into the private, yet public-facing, environment of the Juan Manuel Lumbreras gallery, Euba invites a new dialogue about the presence and evolution of his work. Through this selection of seven paintings, the exhibition highlights the artist's rigorous investigation into the physical and linguistic resources of painting. The transition from an exterior site-specific context to an interior gallery setting allows the works to engage with 21st-century art dialogues, questioning how paintings can be self-referential while simultaneously connecting with the realities of their environment. The display provides a comprehensive look at the evolution of these pieces, which have been shaped by their time exposed to the street air and now stand as a culmination of the artist's research.
