Julia Llerena

"I want my paintings to look like what’s going on outside my window, rather than what’s inside my studio"

- Robert Rauschenberg

Fresh Window Gallery is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in the United States by Spanish artist Julia Llerena entitled In Event of Moon Disaster and curated by Gregorio Cámara. Julia Llerena utilizes fragments of everyday objects, which she finds in the streets, as building blocks for her work and shares a similar aim as Rauschenberg. While walking through the city she has an instinctive connection to these found objects, these “City gifts”, as Rauschenberg called them, which are shreds of a larger item or small objects. In this way she brings the outside, her surroundings into her studio.
