Maëlle Galerie / Paris, France

Allan Villavicencio, Exhibition view In Search of the green ray, solo show commissariat, 2019. Courtesy Maëlle Galerie, © Jérôme Michel.

The pictorial exercise of Allan Villavicencio arises from the chance encounter with the accident, regardless of an unstable order, more open to both certainty and failure.
Therefore, the unfinished, the fractured, and the worn-down become remarkable qualities in his paintings, superimposed on conventions and traditions. Only in this way can it be understood that with Villavicencio painting is strictly a «practice», that is, a way of creating, an intuition and a strategy.
