Acrylic paint on glass and wood constitutes two physical planes that compose Julio Rondo's (b. Sotrondio, Spain, 1952; lives and works in Berlin) large-format pictures. Their staggered arrangement engenders a third space that is no less vital to the visual experience: an interstice that both sets the two painterly strata apart and indissolubly bonds them to one another. As in a superimposition of slides, different autonomous layers fuse before the beholder's eye to form vibrant chromatic hybrids. Closer examination transmutes the painted surface into a three-dimensional space and finally back into a single plane. References to philosophy, music, or personal
recollections in the titles the artist chooses for his works add another dimension.
Drawing from his personal visual archive, Rondo works in fast-drying acrylic paint to create haunting documents of a life that, without mimetically representing his environment, deftly activate feelings, thoughts, and perceptions in the medium of painting.
The catalogue RONDO presents new works the artist has produced since 2016 and is released on occasion of the exhibition Going South at Galerie Andreas Binder, Munich. With essays by Philipp Bollmann and Heike Fuhlbrügge.
