June Crespo (Pamplona, 1982) is a sculptor living and working in Bilbao. Her work is rooted in a tactile and process-based approach to sculpture, often employing casting, molding, and collage to explore the shifting relationships between form, body, and material. Working intuitively with industrial and organic elements – such as concrete, resin, fabric, and found objects – June reconfigures recognizable forms into ambiguous structures that evoke both intimacy and estrangement. Rather than imposing a fixed narrative, June allows for contingency and chance within the process, incorporating traces of production – cracks, seams, voids – as integral to the final work. In doing so, her sculptures open up spaces for emotional and symbolic projection, oscillating between abstraction and figuration.
June received her BFA from the University of the Basque Country in 2005 and completed a two-year residency at De Ateliers in Amsterdam in 2017.
Her recent solo exhibitions include Danzante (2025) at Secession, Vienna; Rose Traction (2025) at Le Crédac, Ivry-sur- Seine; Solar (2025) at Ehrhardt Flórez, Madrid; Their weft, the grass (2024) at 1646, The Hague; Vascular (2024) at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao; They saw their house turn into fields (2023) at CA2M, Madrid; Acts of Pulse (2022) at P420, Bologna; entre alguien y algo (2022) at CarrerasMugica, Bilbao; Am I an Object (2021) at PA///KT, Amsterdam; Helmets (2020) at Artium, Vitoria-Gasteiz; as well as No Osso (2019) at A Certain Lack of Coherence in Porto.
