Like eternal teenagers locked in their own cosmos, surrounded by posters and
photographs that express their desires, their impulses, their anxieties or their
most hidden fears, Maite and Manuel open the doors of their room and invite us
to soak in their imperfect but honest world. A place full of contradictions, fears
and hopes, impregnated with a nostalgic look that takes usinto their refuge and
intimacy. Moving among creatures that embody duality itself, as if they were
totemic elements, the artists show us how they face their emotions from
everyday life, isolating themselves from all those external elements that could
disturb their processes.

Maite García Argul (1996) and Manuel Puig (1991) are a duo of painters born in
Uruguay and currently living in Mallorca. Both with a background in design. In
2019 they created Gabinete Exquisito, a character design studio based in
Barcelona. Oscillating between figuration and abstract expressionism, the
authors define their pictorial work as “an aggressive but innocent struggle,
similar to free jazz”.

With anxious gestures and a certain sense of urgency, they are drawn to the
exploration of dualities: accidentvsintention, abstraction vsfiguration, chaosvs
order, darknessvs clarity, Maite vs Manuel.
