We are excited to announce our current artist in residence, @mateorevillo , whose solo exhibition curated by @yasmine.helou will open May 29th
Revillo’s work unfolds at the intersection of material experimentation and conceptual inquiry, exploring the tension between structure and perception.
Revillo, (b. 1993, Spain) lives and works in Paris. Recent solo exhibitions include Niso Gallery (London, 2026), Chloe Perrin (Paris, 2025), Casa Gilardi (CDMX, 2025), and Pal Project (Paris, 2024).
FORMS HAVE ATTITUDE

Mateo Revillo’s exhibition at @nisogallery continues the gallery’s sustained interest in practices where form is generated from within, where matter, structure and time operate as conditions of thought. In this context, painting becomes a field in which form emerges through material and temporal processes.
The works presented at NISO appear as open surfaces, sometimes fractured or displaced. They read as panels shaped through processes of breaking, repairing and reconfiguring. Colour is organised in fields that evoke architectural remnants — surfaces that have undergone transformation and whose origin remains partially obscured. The pieces seem like fragments of a larger structure, recovered and reorganised. […]

@nisogallery , London, UK.
Crhistian Domínguez Dietzel : […] Two distinct temporal regimes inhabit these works. Revillo describes them as a before and an after that remain structurally irreducible. Like tectonic plates, each belongs to a different order of pictorial thought. Their encounter produces friction, pressure and discontinuity.
The work occurs in that zone of contact, where different times remain active simultaneously.
This temporal structure can be understood through a hydrological image: a system of interconnected basins. Each piece functions as a temporal reservoir connected to others through visible or underground currents. Some relationships appear immediately; others remain latent and emerge over time. The exhibition is thus constructed as a constellation of temporal deposits in constant relation. […] @christiandominguez1965

NISO is delighted to present Mateo Revillo’s first solo exhibition in the UK, 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘈𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦, opening Wednesday, April 1st from 6 pm.
Mateo Revillo’s exhibition situates painting within an expanded field, where it operates as a structure in relation to space, time and perception.

Now: Metallon at COLLECTIVE STATEMENT @nisogallery
Text by @christiandominguez1965
Collective Statement brings together works by Daniel Brusatin, Guy Haddon-Grant, Hitoshi Nakazato, Sawako Nasu, Mateo Revillo, João Trevisan, Max Wechsler, and Amanda Ziemele, which occupy the gallery without being forced into a single narrative or a rigid hierarchy. The exhibition moves away from the idea of art as illustration or symbolism; instead, it focuses on the raw mechanics of making—the calibration, structural clarity, and material decisions that define each practice.
What connects these eight artists is a shared resistance to the theatrical. Each work follows its own internal logic, yet enters into relation with the others through the room’s pacing, distances, and silences. Meaning is not announced but emerges through proximity and the time spent in the space. The gallery becomes a field in which distinct positions coexist without being merged into a single voice.
Integrated directly onto the walls is a layer of documentary material and photography. These elements do not function as explanatory labels, but as a surface of information that links the finished works to the traces of their formation. The viewer moves between object and record, presence and source, allowing both to remain active without one subordinating the other. The space will not only hold the works, but the thought that sustains them.
In this sense, the exhibition aligns with a lineage of exhibition-making historically associated with figures such as Harald Szeemann, where shows are conceived as constellations of autonomous positions, held together by spatial intelligence and necessity rather than by a predetermined theme. Differences are maintained in tension, allowing each practice to retain its clarity. […]
METALLON - @galeriechloeperrin
“Mine” or “quarry” in greek, root of metal, “a simple body endowed with a particular brilliance…”
Utterly baroque, Metallon is both a structural and emotional torsion. We are immersed in a play of light and shadow. Golden brushstrokes illuminate the opaque, dramatic darkness, a gleam or an ornament? Forms twist and distort; everything moves with gravity and virtuosity. Everything is in motion. Even the striations seem to dance.
Abstraction is a distant memory. Each motif is alive, each form active; everything shimmers, the matter itself vibrates and comes fully to life.
