Life

Jorge Rando was born in Málaga. After completing his philosophy studies , he came to Germany at the age of 20 to deepen his knowledge of philosophy. From his former residence in Cologne , he went on study trips to various German cities.

Central European and German culture shaped his artistic and personal development. During his time in Germany, he also learned the welding trade, which he later benefited from when making his iron sculptures. Together with his wife Margit he returned to Malaga in 1984, where he settled.

Internationally he is one of the most respected Spanish artists. During all these years he has exhibited his work in galleries and at contemporary art fairs as well as in Spanish and international foundations and museums. His books are represented in university and state libraries around the world. The first of the city of Málaga sponsored Internet broadcasts of the Holy Week of Malaga was illustrated by Jorge Rando. More than 90,000 of his drawings have already been downloaded from the Internet .

In 2006 Jorge Rando received the Fundación Antiquaria Prize for his contribution to expressionism in Spain . In the same year he was also awarded the Contemporary Art Prize from Tertulia Illustrada in Madrid .

The Spanish National Library acquired some of his works for its collection in 2007. In the following year, two major exhibitions followed in his hometown of Málaga: One in the Bishop's Palace with around 150 of his works and an extensive exhibition in the City Museum with works from his more than 30 years of creative time. In the same year he was named Citizen of the Year by the city of Málaga .

In 2009, the first open-air museum in Málaga was opened in the Nasrid Gardens of the Cathedral of Málaga with seven large-format iron and wood sculptures by Randos and a group of eight sculptures. On behalf of the dean Francisco García Mota, Rando made sketches of 25 stained glass windows in Malaga Cathedral .

In 2010 he designed the sculpture awarded by SIGNIS to the film 'Circuit' as part of the Malaga Film Festival . This statuette was also awarded as a prize in the following years.

In the Church of San Ramón Nonato in Málaga , an open-air museum is opened dedicated to the current reality of the marginalized and the abused.

In 2012, a series of exhibitions previously planned for this year took place in Spain , Germany and the United States. The master continues his work on the sculptures that will form the Jardín de la Conciencia (Garden of Conscience). He started the project “Jorge Rando y la Red Carpet Experience”, which is dedicated to the integration of street children and social outsiders. The master has already led several seminars in Spain and Germany as part of this project.

The Jorge Rando Museum opened in 2014 as part of the Las Madres Mercedarias monastery in the Molinillo district of Málaga . With a total of four rooms for the exhibition, Jorge Rando's work is presented in two rooms in a permanent exhibition that is periodically renewed. The other two rooms are used for temporary exhibitions by expressionist and neo-expressionist artists from Spain and other countries.

2015 He exhibits his new series 'Horizontes verticales' (Vertical Horizons) and a large part of miniature paintings from the series 'Paisajes' (Landscapes) in the rooms of the Jorge Rando Museum in Málaga. He works with 25 students from the Berlin University of the Arts, who come to Málaga together with Professor Lucander, General Director of the UdK, to work in Jorge Rando's studio on a pioneering project, the result of which is in the museum's temporary exhibition rooms Jorge Rando is exhibited.

plant

The painting of Jorge Rando is characterized by a distortion of the shape, the use of emotive colors and the use of gestural expression and expressionist lines. His series of paintings are very extensive. Among the works created between the late sixties and early seventies, a few should be emphasized, such as the series Prostitution, Motherhood, Melancholy, Animals, Landscapes, Africa, etc.

Sacred painting occupies an important place in his work , in which he takes up essential themes of occidental art. In a series dedicated to the Passion of Christ , he mainly uses the colors magenta, green and black, but also nuances of yellow, red and blue. Christ appears humiliated in these paintings, as a suffering being who represents all of humanity.

Jorge Rando leaves most of his works unnamed so as not to anticipate any possibility of interpretation for the viewer. In addition to his work as an artist, he writes down reflections, theses and thoughts that accompany him during his work.

museum

The museum building adjoins the Mercedarian monastery. To convert part of the monastery into the museum, the work of the city of Málaga began in 2011 under the direction of the architect José González Vargas, and was completed in 2014. The harshness of Expressionist art is supposed to meet the sacredness and originality of the place. The Jorge Rando Museum is by no means limited to its exhibition function. The facility, which Rando wanted to transform itself into “the artistic living room of Malaga”, offers an extensive cultural program with film screenings, lectures, colloquiums and workshops. In addition, the museum is to house a research center dedicated to the expressionist movement.
