Elvira Amor and Julia Huete Transform Painting into Sculpture at LABS Bologna

exhibition · 2026-04-26

The exhibition 'Tra Loro,' curated by Cecilia Canziani at LABS gallery in Bologna, brings together Spanish artists Elvira Amor and Julia Huete, who both expand painting beyond the canvas into sculptural territory. Amor works instinctively with gestural brushstrokes that invade physical space, while Huete employs textiles, collage, and embroidery to create three-dimensional stitched canvases. The show includes a mural and sculpture by Amor and a large sewn canvas by Huete, both emphasizing impermanence and process. Paper serves as a common medium for experimentation with acrylic and watercolor, allowing for spontaneity and error. The exhibition runs at LABS in Bologna.
