Kunstmuseum Thun
Giacomo Santiago Rogado is a Swiss artist with Italian-Spanish roots who combines the most diverse traditions of the painterly medium in his works and uses new tools, techniques and materials to intensively explore the possibilities, limits and conditions of contemporary painting. In his almost 20 years of artistic activity as a painter, Rogado has created an extensive body of work that has never before been exhibited in an overview. He is also the first artist to exhibit at both locations, the Thunerhof and the Thun Panorama. On an area totalling over 1000 m2, Rogado will respond directly to the specific challenges of the exhibition venues. In the Thun-Panorama, the artist - like its creator Marquard Wocher - operates primarily in his figurative works, with illusionistic effects and an image-like quality reminiscent of photography. The two-dimensional works are complemented by monumental spatial installations that allow the viewer to immerse themselves in the pictorial space and thus create a direct link to the historical panorama.
