SPACES WITHIN | PURE EVIL GALLERY
YUP | Paulo Arraiano – ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE | Diogo Machado
16TH February to 26TH February 2012 | Opening Event 6-9PM

Despite the marked differences between their graphic and visual languages, long-time friends Paulo Arraiano (YUP) and Diogo Machado (ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE) have often collaborated on many projects. Over the years each has developed an extensive portfolio in the fields of graphic and visual arts, working in a variety of mediums. Each has also taken part in a great number of individual and collective
exhibitions, in Portugal and abroad. This is the first time they are showcasing their work together in the UK.

Both grew up in and live in the seaside town of Cascais, outside Lisbon, Portugal, and in spite of their distinctive paths they share multiple references and interests. They have developed a high level of understanding and familiarity which often borders on the complicit, turning their fertile partnership into an ongoing intuitive collaboration. It is this convergence towards a mutual space where both their differences and similarities intersect that can be viewed here.

Spaces Within explores this point of contact where the two individual realms meet and overlap – an area which both reflects and transcends the many inner spaces and territories their lives and work have created; a new multi-layered expanse composed of myriad emotions, characters, stories,landscapes, colours,
shapes and details.

Born in Lisbon, on May of 1974, photography was always a constant presence in the author’s life, albeit in an omnipresent way. The turning point in the author’s life, comes in 2002, when he concludes his degree in computer science and management and acquires his first SLR camera. From this point on, the author would then dedicate most of his free time to photography.
