Mateo Revillo

Teatro, 2024 Encaustic and casein paint on cement and plasterboard, wood.


Mateo Revillo (Spain, 1993) is an artist who lives and works in Paris. His practice revolves around a central notion: that of latent structures inscribed in an assemblage suspended in time.

There they are, fully visible—fragments, open forms, surfaces that seem to contain duration. This initial materiality leads us directly into his practice, situated between painting, sculpture, and architectural intervention. Revillo works with elemental materials—lime, plaster, pigment—combined with a scenographic sensitivity that, while not visibly tied to any specific style, resonates with deep echoes from various artistic traditions, both past and present, including the Spanish one.

Upon closer observation, each piece reveals itself as a threshold—like the vestige of a future ruin or the remnant of a ceremony yet to occur. A constant tension emerges between structure and fragment, between architecture and fracture, between what has disappeared, what remains open, what lingers suspended in transformation. This same tension is reflected in the way color inhabits the surfaces of his work.
