Manuel García Fernández Blends Intimacy and Studio Debris in 'Dog Bed Games' and HAGD_Contemporary Shows

In 2025, Spanish artist Manuel García Fernández, who resides in Oviedo, unveiled his solo exhibition titled 'Dog Bed Games' at the Marc Bibiloni Gallery in Madrid, with Javier Díaz-Guardiola as the curator. The exhibition showcased soft sculptures and paintings featuring red figures interacting with dogs and brick walls. Simultaneously, he displayed large-scale pieces at HAGD_Contemporary Gallery, utilizing simple materials such as oil and graphite. During a residency at La Bibi in Mallorca in 2024, he initiated a series that culminated in 'Pintura para construir en tu cabeza' at La Bibi Gallery. His artistic exploration delves into themes of the human body, memory, and domesticity, incorporating elements like kettles and palms, highlighting an emotional process through unfinished edges.
