The house might seem still, but it is in constant motion, seeming almost alive. Animated by the soft and yet constant variations of natural light, the pool’s water hypnotic slick surface mirroring the crisp colorful walls, Barragan’s house is in perpetual choreography with the dancing shades of the Jacaranda Tree around which it was built. Thus, in an attempt to relate to the magnetic architecture of the space, and the vision of its author, both artists explore in their own fashion what can be in fact shaped by vibrant colors, sharp geometrics, and sculptural nature.

As much as Dowler’s research is anchored in form, matter and color, Mateo Revillo’s is rooted at the intersection of sculpture, painting, poetry, and architecture…
Sensitive of the surroundings, Revillo freely navigates through contexts and circumstances creating specific interventions that endorse and welcome a definite architecture, between precise aesthetics and spontaneous gestures. He draws, paints, sculpts, composes, breaks, recomposes, transforms, and imagines original scenarios within established ones, generating mystical atmospheres and intriguing perspectives, always in simplicity and coherence.

Through a synesthetic understanding of the power of particular geometrics, colors, special materials, and sense of proportions, light and nature, this exhibition aims to institute a dialogue, a proper conversation between the subject and the object. Shrouded in the walls and aura of Casa Gilardi, the site specific artworks conceived by Bobby Dowler and Mateo Revillo for this exhibition, initiate a fresh reading of the space between observation and sensation, analytical appreciation and personal perception, colors, forms and matter, between the house, the audience and the rest. Along with the exhibition, guided tours and a series of talks open to the public will be organised between the artists, the owners and inhabitants of the house, and other fellow architecture and arts enthusiasts, with the aim to conduct conversations around the function of architecture and architectural spaces, how they relate to time, nature and contemporaneity, their relations to art and vise versa.
