Dietmar Brixy

Dietmar Brixy (*1961 in Mannheim) has an artistic signature that is truly unique; this unmistakeable style is employed to assert a clear position in his almost three-dimensional, opulent compositions and to underline his commitment to the classical painting medium. In his multicolour images, gnarly branch-like structures emerge out of thick impasto layers with paint dripping and trickling down from their foliage. For all the powerful opulence of his most recent paintings, however, the pictorial spaces are clearly organised: horizontally and vertically arranged ciphers structure the picture plane and open up areas of varying depths and horizons.

The characteristic flow of these images is synonymous with Brixy’s passion, which permeates all of his paintings and underlies his entire artistic output. “As a painter, I have developed my own signature style – an expressive layered form of painting that for all its visual abstraction is always linked to nature,” he explains.

The exhibition will run from Friday the 29th of November 2019
