Lucía Bayón (ESP, 1994) lives and works in Madrid. Bayón is an artist who develops her practice both in writing and in sculpture. She conceives the different elements of her work -language and object- as rhetorical devices within a semantic field where the body, the ritual and the symbolic are involved, as well as the friction between function and form generated through seriality and accumulation of gestures, rhythms and materials.

She holds a BA in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid and the Universität der Künste in Berlin, and a MA of Fine Arts from the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam. She has partaken residencies in international art centers such as Kunsthuis SYB (Beetstwerzwaag, Netherlands, 2019) or the SommerAkademie (Salzburg, Austria, 2019). She has received the Botín Foundation Fine Arts scholarship (2019), the ‘Circuitos’ Fine Arts Award (Madrid, 2020), and was selected for Generaciones 2021 from Montemadrid Foundation (Madrid, 2021).

Her recent work has been shown in Hot Links (Pradiauto, Madrid, 2021), Claro del Bosque (Intersticio, Madrid, 2021), Generación 2021 (La Casa Encendida, Madrid, 2021), Scratching the Surface (Galería Travesía Cuatro, Madrid, 2020), Cayó la Casa, Trepó la Dama (Sala de Arte Joven, Madrid, 2020), Spoil Conduct (Available & The Rat, Rotterdam, 2020) Sobre la Belleza (Center Cívic Can Felipa, Barcelona, 2019). Future shows include exhibitions at the Het Archief (Rotterdam, 2021) and the Botín Center (Santander, 2022).
