Published in 2021, the catalog RONDO is a retrospective of artist Julio Rondo‘s work from 2016 to the present. RONDO has been released on occasion of the exhibition GOING SOUTH at Galerie Andreas Binder, Munich in 2021. 

„For me, Julio Rondo‘s paintings are colour-architecure (...) He is preoccupied with colour space: not a two-dimensional imulated space – as is often found in the history of painting – but a space that can be experienced in real terms.“ Philipp Bollmann

Via Rondos choosen material: glass, the viewer is allowed to dive into the deep-set, earlier layers of paint and color. Further, Rondo‘s painting sharpens the viewer‘s eye to the technique of paint application itself and opens up deep spatial dimensions.

These characteristic elements of Rondos work guided the Art Work for the visual conception of RONDO. We picked the powerful vibration of his work and transferred it into a neon-colored title on the cover. The technical sophistication of the brushstrokes is accounted for with detail shots and close-ups. 

„We can actually walk through his works spatially with our eyes and thoughts.“ Philipp Bollmann
