Press Release

Alzueta Gallery is thrilled to present for the first time, the artist-duo Maite y Manuel (Uruguay, 1996 & 1991) and their new exhibition ‘PSST PSST’, that will be showing in Turó Park until May 31st, 2024.

Maite Garcia 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 fight, similar to free jazz’.

In a conversation through painting: the spiked bat, the dogs, the smoke and the pine processionaries serve as the basis for this series of anecdotal works from Maite and Manuel’s winter. With anxious gestures and a certain sense of urgency they are drawn to exploring dualities: accident vs intention, abstraction vs figuration, chaos vs order, darkness vs lightness, Maite vs Manuel.
