ABOUT THE ARTIST
Originally from the peaceful landscapes of Switzerland, Patrick Piccinelli embarked on an enriching academic journey that led him to the prestigious halls of ECAL (University of Art and Design Lausanne, Switzerland), a bastion of artistic excellence on a global scale. The respected tradition of impeccable typography for which Switzerland is renowned, combined with the profound influence of Swiss graphic design, known for its austere, minimalist, and refined aesthetic, has significantly guided Piccinelli's artistic journey. His palette is firmly rooted in geometric minimalism, a stylistic reverberation reminiscent of the illustrious “Zurich movement.” This era of artistic fervor was launched by figures such as Max Bill, Richard Paul Lohse, and Verena Loewenberg, luminaries who pioneered geometric or constructed art. His works have recently been acquired by collectors in the United States, Japan, and Europe.

ARTWORK STORY
This work on canvas evokes the music of contemporary composer Olivier Messaien. Messiaen uses silence to structure his compositions. These silences allow listeners to contemplate the sounds that have just faded away, or to anticipate those that are about to follow. Similarly, in my painting, the use of smooth, unshaded geometric areas highlights the improvised drawings, splashes, and splatters. For me, these structured areas represent the silences in my painting.
