There’s an antagonism the two artists share in their respective pictorial styles: Puig with his reductionist abstraction of geometric forms with flat colors, and Targa with his full and realistic pictorial style reminiscent of impressionism.They have worked together on different occasions, trying to merge the two styles in the same medium, combining and seeking a dialogue. As a referent, the two artists chose to use analogue photographs of their joint parties at Konvent in Berga, to which they apply graphic elements via Berni's abstraction. In the works, Berni and Mateu play with the concept of censorship in order to deflect it. The placidity of the abstract elements pushes the gaze towards the contours of the frame, where the viewer discovers a breast, bottles of alcohol, and other elements that are traditionally censored.
