Artist statement:
Julian Lorber’s artworks are a combination of layers of mixed media and paint. Built upon a canvas-like panel that is conceived as an “architecture of pollution”, they are in fact made of superposed “externalities”, as an echo to soot and graffiti paint build up on urban architecture.
