Turo Pedretti is considered as a great painter of the night. He shares his expressive colour palette with Edvard Munch and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Turo Pedretti captured light and shadow in their atmospheric appearance with a daring lightness that makes his paintings an immediate, sensual experience of his perception of nature.
The Expressionist/Fauvist paints bold and extremely colourful paintings in which the unique Engadine light plays a central role. Pedretti's studio shows selected pictures as well as Roy Oppenheim's film "Turo Pedretti, his life's work and the Engadin".
