532 Gallery Thomas Jaeckel is delighted to announce Le Stagioni, the first solo exhibition in Switzerland by acclaimed London-based artist Danny Rolph. This marks Rolph’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. The title, Le Stagioni, draws inspiration from Antonio Vivaldi’s iconic violin concerti Le Quattro Stagioni (The Four Seasons), which have informed the emotive and celebratory nature of this series.

 

Over the past three years, Rolph has developed these works on his signature Triplewall plastic sheets, translating his engagement with Vivaldi’s music into visual form. The resulting paintings reflect a dynamic interplay of colour, geometry, and rhythm, creating immersive compositions that evoke both the energy and the contemplative qualities of the music.

 

Rolph is celebrated for his imaginative approach to painting, producing spatially indulgent, pictorially rich works that inspire curiosity and wonder. His practice balances rigorous exploration with inventive experimentation, resulting in compositions that are both precise and expressive.

 

Born in London in 1967, Rolph received an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art in 1993. He has exhibited extensively worldwide, with solo exhibitions in New York, London, Houston, Milan, and Antwerp. His work is represented in numerous public and private collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Tate Gallery (London), National Gallery of Art (Reykjavik), Swindon Art Museum (UK), and Highlanes Municipal Museum (Eire). Among his accolades, Rolph received the Mark Rothko Residency Award in 2022 and was a Rome Scholar at The British School at Rome in 1998. Recent museum exhibitions include Linger at Hafnarborg, Iceland, and Phoenix Arts Centre, Exeter, as well as Tercet at Espacio del Convent de Santa Domingo, Pollensa.

 

Le Stagioni offers audiences an opportunity to experience the intersection of music, colour, and visual form, presenting Rolph’s ongoing exploration of the emotive and poetic potential of painting.

Rolph lives and works in London.
