Rubén Orgye is an international contemporary artist based in Barcelona, Spain. His work explores the complexities of the human condition through a raw and expressive visual language, focusing on themes such as sensuality, intimacy, and the transformation of the body as symbolic and emotional territory.

Influenced by artists like Francis Bacon, Egon Schiele, and Tracey Emin, Orgye approaches the human figure as a space of tension — between desire and discomfort, exposure and concealment, normativity and transgression.

His process is spontaneous, gestural and emotionally driven. Each piece emerges from a direct confrontation with the surface, where instinct and intention collide to create compositions that are both fragile and confrontational. The canvas becomes a space of conflict, confession and transformation.

Often present as a subtle yet persistent element in his paintings, the infinite eyelashes have become a symbolic trace of his visual language — a fragile border between inner and outer perception.

Through this exploration, Orgye invites viewers to engage with their own internal landscapes, offering a space for reflection that is as intimate as it is unsettling.

An exhibition in the midst of ArtBasel Paris featuring queer contemporary art revolves around the themes of skin, texture, and sensuality. SKINS is an art exhibition that brings together various works from local and international artists focused on touch, sensuality, companionship, and both human and artificial surfaces.

Each artist has expressed the theme through their unique personal art and invites us on a journey that transcends mere skin. It is a pleasure to exhibit alongside the works of Giovanni Leandro Bassan, Ian Bertolucci, Gastón Lisak, Juliana Plexxo, Frederic Imbert, Ricardo Fumanal, Daniela McNulty, and Alexandre Desmidt.
