Studio Visit: DANIEL MATTAR

In Daniel Mattar’s work, there unfolds a fruitful construction of grids and formats between porous matter and the subtle application of an economical palette, revisiting the grid, modernist on one hand, and on the other, more metaphysical, or musical.

 However, the support is, so to speak, the horizon of an abstract landscape, like a fragmented vision of floating shapes that move within the frame of each of his visual constructions. Other examples, such as “Scale,” or “Compass,” establish a play with language between the musical vocabulary, which does not escape the notion of time, and visual language. The scale, in the methodical geometry of color use and its composition, unfolds in another work that establishes a rhythm in the construction of elements and rhythms that compose it.
