Gianfredo Camesi



Gianfredo Camesi (born 24 March 1940) is a Swiss painter.

Camesi moved to Geneva in 1960 where he started experimenting with painting and sculpture. Towards the end of the 1960s he started his association with the gallery of Renée Ziegler in Zurich and Jan Runnqvist from Galerie Bonnier in Geneva. In 1973 he represented Switzerland at the 12th São Paulo Art Biennial with a series of 400 watercolours and 15 paintings. In 1975 he moved to France before returning to Switzerland where he settled in his native Ticino.

Twenty-seven of his works are part of the collection of the Museo d'Arte della Svizzera Italiana (MASI) in Lugano.
