Julia Huete

Le Beau Monde is a plastic art project inspired by the city and its soft architecture. Huete’s approach to this theme stems mainly from her interest in material and formal aspects. She focuses on things such as the visual simplification of an architecture covered with tarpaulins or the solid structural schemes of the construction of volumes in plastic or fabric, although she is also concerned with more gestural issues associated with the need to cover or conceal fragments of the city, whether planned or not.
