Bread & Coffee by Ferran Torras

“Bread & Coffee” is a solo show presented by Spanish artist Ferran Torras that experiments with the art of collage, with a feeling of nostalgia through simple and naive compositions using mixed media.

Bread & Coffee is a show inspired by Ferran’s love for those two elements that are deeply rooted in Spanish culture, especially bread, where there is no meal without it and people use it as a tool to eat; it’s very common to go to the bakery daily to get your barra de pan (baguette).
