Lot Essay

"His works have become challenges to the notion of skill. His paintings bring to the context of painting the appropriation of good taste as an ideological phenomenon, characteristic of the action of other artistic media during the last decade. Through this union of the notion of skill and the objects that hold to a great extent our sense of reality, the photographic condition of Villa's work appears. The meaning that his work produces comes from that strange mixture of proximity and distance which makes us identify the objects present in it and, simultaneously, surprises us by their role in the scene."
Jaime Cern
