The work of Mat\u00edas Ercole is based on the certainty that drawing is capable of making the invisible visible. Since his early charcoal murals and his first figurative sgraffito, he has not stopped exploring the status of the image as a reality endowed with its own existence whose elements can be decomposed. In his pieces, mostly large scale, the line, the light, the cut appear not so much as means of representation, but as symptoms of an energy in movement, the sensitive evidence of a force that operates in the background of the apparent mimesis. His shapeless compositions and his desolate landscapes recall at the same time the fading light of the sublime romantic scenes or the organic character of the American Baroque and above all the drama of religious painting. Sustained in hanging iron structures, illuminated by reflectors, arranged like frescoes, it is not possible to separate Ercole's visual works from the context and device through which they are exhibited, revealing an attention to the dependence of the image on the architecture, in a theatrical character that gives his drawings an unusual power.<\/p>
