Hailing from Guatemala City and shaped by a transient upbringing across the United States, Josué Morales Urbina delves into the intricacies of transcultural displacement. His installations weave together an eclectic array of materials, from commonplace items like drinking straws and coffee beans to unexpected elements such as toasted white bread and honey. Urbina has participated in solo and group exhibitions in New York, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, and Texas, alongside artist-in-residency programs at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, the Vermont Studio Center, Centrum, and Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild. Holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Texas at San Antonio, Morales Urbina’s artistic trajectory continues to captivate viewers with its exploration of cultural hybridity and the universal quest for a sense of home.
