About
Lives and works in Paris, France
Mateo Revillo’s works draws upon contemporary abstraction as well as ancient times and Mediterranean civilisation, tracing a vast timeline that links primitive frescos with the breaking of the rectangular format as proposed by the early proponents of Minimalism. These works are keen to evoke a hectic, immediate and savage world. The energy inscribed in the materials, the violence in the treatment of the painted surface -knife cuts, burning wax, screwed into the wall, build the expressive bodily and archeological language of his paintings. In a space between painting and architecture, his work aims at the expansion of image beyond the painted surface, and transforming the exhibition.
