« Pentimento » — Mateo Revillo On view at @galeria__alegria in Barcelona, until May. « It is not strange, therefore, that this exhibition references Dionysus, the Greek god who represented the irrational, the excessive and the forbidden, but who also symbolised the constant expansion and transformation of life. Expansion, transgression, vitality, tradition and transformation... and, during some periods of the aforementioned excess, perhaps some degree of regret. All of these attributes were indeed present in the myths about Dionysus, or Bacchus. Mateo Revillo makes use of these elements not only to introduce and bridge between the vastly different interests and tensions that we can find in his work, but, perhaps, also to establish a parallel with the practice of painting, a practice that always seeks to exceed the limits within which, often in artificial ways, we seek to enclose it. » #mateorevillo #boscotrecase
