The Chilean art and architecture studio of Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen presents a counterpart to their self-contained axonometric structures. The paintings appear as both abstract and figurative compositions, with precise articulation through a few basic elements, and portray the reversible quality of architectonic spaces. The relative scale, rawness, and depth of these simple rooms can be read as carefully selected fragments taken from a pervasive and perhaps idealised architecture, and evoke implicit memories of familiar, everyday places.
This book includes an interview with the duo by critic Ellis Woodman on the relation between their architecture and painting.
