The purpose of the artist is not to reproduce the visible, but to make visible what is not.
Biography
A painter with an elusive and singular personality, which is as much due to his character as to the personal and historical events in which he was involved, Roberto Matta wants to be totally open to the world and immediately places his work as a testimony to reality, to life and history.
Matta had a certain charisma, his commitment to just and sincere political causes took a considerable place in his art. He almost constantly addresses, marked by his history and by History , political, cultural and social confrontations, which he translates through the expression of states of tension or anxiety.
In cosmic and visionary landscapes which evoke raw territories in perpetual transformation, Roberto Matta develops a discourse, where appears, from 1945, the figuration of Man, of his universe and where in sequences, the world is created, takes shape, is articulated and metamorphosed according to a sharp and impulsive writing. The violence in certain works is expressed symbolically by the sole convulsive movement of sharp volumes which collide in a swirling, chaotic and explosive space.
