Javier Barilaro – “Como si la verdad importara”

Reception: April 22nd, 2025

ICPNA Miraflores - Espacio Venancio Shinki, Av. Angamos Oeste 120 - Lima, Perú

_VIGILGONZALES invites you to visit Como si la verdad importara, the first solo exhibition of Javier Barilaro outside of Argentina, at ICPNA Miraflores - Venancio Shinki Space (Av. Angamos Oeste 120, Lima - Peru), curated by Charles Miró Quesada.

In this exhibition, Javier Barilaro challenges perception through a series of paintings that oscillate between subtlety and drama.

Six minimally colored canvases reveal unexpected details up close, contrasting with a seventh piece set against a high-contrast black background.

His painting process explores error, the layering of surfaces, and the act of erasure as a creative strategy. Geographical cultural references shape scenes that evoke both real and imaginary landscapes.
