Light-filled, intensively colourful, full of explosive power - this is the image universe of Dietmar Brixy Energy, optimism, the joy of life: Dietmar Brixy creates works that burst out into the world with luminous colour and dynamism. Paintings with titles such as Happy or Journey invite us to join Brixy on a visual adventure of glorious colour and spirited composition, which he sets off against dark and muted shades. Every picture offers an emotional and exciting discovery, each time in a new way. At times, the colour retreats like a curtain from gentler tones, opening up three-dimensional spaces as in Brixy-s large-format series Reflect. At other times, round pictures called Bamboo Bubbles are grouped together to form ensembles that portray nature-s cyclical processes, from growth to decay. This book, designed as an exhibition in itself, was conceived to accompany Brixy-s installation at the Venice Biennale, and will guide the viewer into his magnificently vivid world.
