Publisher's Synopsis
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.
