BACKPiece Study and draftsman for the museography of the new Colecciones Reales Museum, Madrid
Born in Madrid in 1993, Mateo Revillo left Spain in 2011 for Paris, then moved to Oxford the following year where he studied Fine Arts. He returned to live in Paris in 2016 on the occasion of the 61st Salon de Montrouge. He’s been working between Madrid and Paris since.
In his work, the fragment, the vestige, are employed in the search of mystical vertigo as an experience of disjunction of spatial, visual and material references. His work drafts contemporary temporal disarticulation. He works particularly in painting, also focusing on different forms of spatial organization, such as architecture and installation. It is also often a matter of agency between contemporary art, patrimony and collective memory.
Whether through paintings, assemblies or territorial interventions, it is a question of constituting a unity of the space in which the work is inserted. His work in painting is an organic variation in the space of geometric forms: they are unfoldable pieces seeking the integration of space into the work, like pieces of frescoes belonging to a large ruined ensemble. A ruin to imagine. In this way, he develops a new grammar of the landscape between painting and architecture, restoring the ambiguous continuity between the image and its place.
His work has been shown in France and in Spain, as well as other European countries. He is one of the three founding members of La Méditerranée, an exhibition-oriented research group initiated in 2020.
