MATÍAS DUVILLE IS CASA TRIÂNGULO’S NEW REPRESENTED ARTIST
Brazilian gallery Casa Triângulo announced the representation or Argentine artist Matías Duville.
Interested in the use of physical and mental displacement as ways to change reference and perception, Matias Duville places himself in different situations in order to understand how he and his work transform one another. His charcoal, ink and mud drawings propose parallel realities and debates on landscape and chaos. For him, the act of drawing goes beyond: it means being attentive to any accident or loss of control; it is self-knowledge. “Too much comfort is not good”, declares the artist who mounted a mobile studio in Alaska to create a series of drawings linked to the imagination, to the physical and intellectual permeation of nature and memory. He often visits a piece of land art he created in the hinterlands of Argentina to understand external and internal mutations. His life in the studio is linked to moments of trial and error, of mastery and loss. Drawing is a powerful window, and because of this, when he is creating, he expands mental geography, entering a hypnotic state that leads him to the many dimensions he elaborates. His workspace is the mind itself.
