Traditionally, painting has been understood as the art of the surface: pigment on canvas, bound to gesture, composition and pictorial space. Yet contemporary painterly practice has moved far beyond this definition. It breaks open the classical notion of the panel painting and seeks expansion through movement, temporality, process and perception. The term “expanded painting” – repeatedly invoked since the 1960s – points to this act of opening: painting is no longer defined solely by technique, but by attitude and by thinking. (...)
In the practice of Giacomo Santiago Rogado, technique and intuition merge into a poetic enquiry of pictorial space. His works often arise from processes that give equal weight to chance and control: colour gradients, reflections and iridescent surfaces extend the image into the surrounding space. Rogado understands painting as a field of experience – a sensorial realm in which light and perception become inseparably intertwined.
