Jerry Zeniuk - Il colore: Museo Mirad'Or
Mirad’Or presents Jerry Zeniuk. The Colour, an exhibition dedicated to the German master of colour and a central figure in international fundamental painting. Curated by Simona Spinella, with the supervision of Flaminio Gualdoni and Marco Lagorio, the show retraces the research of Jerry Zeniuk (Bardowick, 1945), an artist who for over forty years has explored colour as an autonomous, meditative, and deeply emotional experience.
The exhibition unfolds between the Mirad’Or lakeside pavilion and the Romanino Church in Pisogne, creating a dialogue between space, light, and contemplation. On view are ten works – including three previously unseen pieces – revealing the essence of his practice: from the meditative power of chromatic surfaces to point-based compositions, primary elements that become structure, rhythm, and visual thought. Among the works exhibited are Untitled No. 85 (1981), an emblematic example of fundamental painting, and the large-scale canvas Untitled (2001), capable of transforming the sacred space into a perceptual environment open to the spiritual experience of colour.
As the artist writes in his volume How to Paint, “art must be timeless and contemporary”: a vision fully reflected in the exhibition project, where colour is not ornament but a cognitive tool, capable of engaging the viewer in a personal and universal experience.
The exhibition, the second stage of the international cultural programme conceived for Mirad’Or by the scientific committee directed by Flaminio Gualdoni and coordinated by Marco Lagorio, is realised in collaboration with ABC-ARTE Genoa, Milan and the Municipality of Pisogne. It will be on view from 29 November 2025 to 15 February 2026 at Mirad’Or and the Romanino Church in Pisogne, Lake Iseo.
