Cadejo: Collaborations of Francisco Gabuardy and Fredy Gabuardy

Kansas City-based media artists Francisco Gabuardy and Fredy Gabuardy are identical twins, but their styles are not hard to differentiate. Francisco explores a collection of personally meaningful symbols like spikes and pie graphs, while Fredy is a builder and often includes sculptural elements in his work.

Cadejo, their first collaborative exhibition, was four years in the making. The exhibition showcases 10 pieces, eight highlighting the push and pull of their unique styles and shared Nicaraguan origins, and two representing their own studio practices.

A mythical, dog-shaped spirit they grew up hearing stories about inspired the title of the show. Francisco explains that cadejo has two sides, a yin and a yang, that complement each other, just as the brothers’ styles do.
