”Painting itself takes centre stage—not merely as one medium among others, but as an autonomous field of inquiry with its inherent possibilities, contradictions, and challenges. The exhibition’s title SOPRATUTTO already points to this stance. Translated from Italian, the word means “above all” or “above everything,” denoting emphasis, precedence, or prioritisation.
For Kompatscher, painting is not only a means of pictorial representation, but the very subject and underlying principle of the exhibition: it functions as a discipline in which perception, decision, and form are repeatedly condensed.“ Text excerpt by Elias Schöpf
