SUMMARY:"We want to help"
DESCRIPTION:“We want to help” – artist and collector help together. Donations totalling 10\,000 euros are collected at a raffle during an exhibition by painter Dietmar Brixy. \n  \n“Truth” was the name of his exhibition. And part of the truth is: “We’re doing well\, so we’re giving some of it away\,” says artist Dietmar Brixy. That’s why he has now donated once again to the “MM” campaign “We want to help” – and at the same time motivated another donor\, art collector Marie-Luise Brune\, to also give money to the “MM” campaign. \n  \n(…) “This year\, the response was greater than ever\,” says Brixy happily. Guests have even come from Alsace and Switzerland because he is receiving more and more national coverage\, says Brixy gratefully. SWR\, for example\, has just titled the renowned series “SWR Kultur” about him “Lebensreise in Farbe” (Journey through life in colour)\, which is still available in the ARD media library… \n  \nExcerpt from Mannheimer Morgen\, 15 December 2023\, author: Peter W.

SUMMARY:TRUTH - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Mannheim-based artist Dietmar Brixy is opening the doors of the Old Pumping Station in Mannheim-Neckarau again this year for his “TRUTH” exhibition. From September 29 to October 22\, he invites art lovers to take a tour of his artist residence and present new compositions from his “JOURNEY” series of works as well as selected works from earlier creative phases in the interior and exterior spaces of the industrial monument. In cooperation with the Tammen Gallery from Berlin\, the exhibition is complemented by sculptures by guest artist Anna Arnskötter. \n  \n  \n“TRUTH: A reflection on truth in the works of Dietmar Brixy and Anna Arnskötter”. \nArt has always possessed the ability to confront us with profound questions and make us reflect on the meaning of our existence. In the exhibition “TRUTH” at the Old Pumping Station in Mannheim-Neckarau\, painter Dietmar Brixy and sculptor Anna Arnskötter present their latest works\, which offer a multi-faceted view of the concept of “truth”. The exhibition invites visitors to embark on an inspiring journey in which they can discover the complexity and multi-layered nature of truth in contemporary art. \n  \n  \nInspirations from a study trip \nThe current painting of Dietmar Brixy is characterized by a fascinating development\, which can be traced back to a trip from India to Thailand. This trip had a profound influence on the artist and is clearly reflected in his works. Brixy now uses an even more expressive use of color\, with colors such as turquoise and pink playing a particularly significant role. Through the intensified color nuances and the expanded palette\, the artist creates an atmosphere that involuntarily captivates the viewer. The canvases become a kind of visual diary\, reproducing the memories and impressions of his journey in abstract form. \nIndia\, a country full of cultural treasures and spiritual aspects\, opened a new world of inspiration to Brixy. The trip\, however\, was not only of aesthetic significance\, but also marked a certain borderline experience\, in which the contrasts of this country came clearly to light. In this field of tension between the contrasts\, Brixy found a situation that had a lasting influence on his perception. \n  \n  \nA further development of the series of works “Journey“ \nThe current paintings of Dietmar Brixy can be understood as a further development of his previous series of works “Journey”. Even at first glance\, his paintings promise the feeling of departure that was already present in the artist’s earlier series of works. Through the unconventional use of color and structure\, Brixy creates a maximum of emotional impact and invites us to go on a journey through his paintings. \nA characteristic feature of “Journey” is the bright colors. The compositions radiate an almost early summer brightness\, which is further enhanced by the deliberate use of white valeurs. Again and again\, these light tones are set in contrast to dark accents in order to emphasize their radiance even more clearly. Almost unnoticed\, Brixy draws the viewer deeper into the composition\, layer by layer. Like a curtain pulled aside or pushed up\, the dynamically designed color surfaces reveal a view of a delicate\, shimmering center. What represents the final level of design for the artist opens up access to the paintings for the viewer. The striking fig leaves\, dipped in diluted oil paint and then pulled from the impasto layer of paint\, serve as a representational motif\, connecting real nature with the abstract landscape. \n  \n  \n \nJourney\, 2023\, Öl auf Nessel\, 120 x 300 cm\n  \n  \nTruth in Dietmar Brixy’s paintings \nOne of the central themes in Brixy’s paintings is the meaning of truth. The artist himself emphasizes that every person has his or her own perception and truth\, since everyone sees the world with different eyes. Thus\, he opens a space for individual interpretation of his artworks. He is not concerned with conveying a particular message\, but rather with the dialogue between different perspectives and points of view. He encourages viewers to discover and share their own truth as they explore the paintings. It is not about propagating One View of the World\, but about openness to the multiple possibilities of understanding and interpretation. \nThe expressive color in Brixy’s current paintings underscores this idea of diversity. The vibrant accents of color create an unmistakable visual intensity\, inviting the viewer to embark on a journey through the nuances of truth. Each brushstroke and color composition helps to create a unique emotional experience that reflects the complexity of the human condition. By emphasizing individual truth and respectful dialogue between different perspectives\, Brixy invites viewers to find their own interpretations and discover the world in all its diversity. \nDietmar Brixy’s work reflect the search for authenticity in a world characterized by superficial appearances. His paintings reflect the tension between the visible and the hidden\, between what we perceive and what is hidden behind the surface. They challenge the viewer to seek the truth in his or her own experiences and sensations\, and to recognize that it is not always obvious. \n  \n \nJourney\, 2023\, Öl auf Nessel\, 180 x 120 cm\n  \n  \nThe truth in Anna Arnskötter’s sculptures \nIn Anna Arnskötter’s sculptures\, truth is explored in a very different way. Arnskötter creates sculptures that represent truth in its material form. Using a variety of materials and techniques\, she creates works that explore the duality of truth and fiction. Her sculptures invite the viewer to grasp the solid presence of truth while accepting its mutability. Arnskötter’s works show us that truth is not static\, but can transform depending on perspective and context. \n  \n \nKünstlerin Anna Arnskötter und Künstler Dietmar Brixy\n  \n  \nDialogue between Brixy and Arnskötter \nThe exhibition “TRUTH” allows a fascinating dialogue between the works of Dietmar Brixy and Anna Arnskötter. Although their artistic expressions are different\, they share a common search for truth and authenticity. The subtle connection between Brixy’s paintings and Arnskötter’s sculptures opens a space for reflection and invites visitors to question their own notions of truth. By presenting different perspectives on the subject\, Brixy and Arnskötter expand our understanding of truth and encourage us to look beyond the superficial veils. \n  \n  \nThe Meaning of “TRUTH” as the Exhibition Title \nThe exhibition “TRUTH” will take place from September 29 to October 22 at the Old Pumping Station in Mannheim-Neckarau. The historic building provides an inspiring setting for the presentation of Brixy and Arnskötter’s works. The title of the exhibition\, “TRUTH\,” serves as a guide for viewing the works of Brixy and Arnskötter. It invites the viewer to grapple with the question of truth and explore it in the various artistic forms of expression. The point is not to find an absolute truth\, but rather to appreciate individual perception and interpretation. “TRUTH” serves as an invitation to explore the multi-layered nature of truth and to recognize that it emerges in the connection between artwork and viewer. \n  \n  \nWhat: \nExhibition “TRUTH” by artist Dietmar Brixy. \nSpecial guest gallery Tammen\, Berlin with guest artist Anna Arnskötter – sculptures. \n  \nWhere: \nOld pumping station Mannheim-Neckarau\, Aufeldstraße 19\, 68199 Mannheim. \n  \nWhen: \nSeptember 29 – October 22\, 2023 \n  \nOpening hours: \nFriday 2-7 p.m.\, Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m. and by appointment. \n  \nParking: \nSufficient parking spaces are available in the parking lot of the GKM Mannheim administration building. \n

SUMMARY:Brixy in the new Boesner main catalog
DESCRIPTION:Brixy in the new boesner main catalog | boesner celebrates 40th anniversary!\n  \nFor 40 years now\, boesner\, one of the leading suppliers of professional artists’ materials\, has been all about art and\, in particular\, about the material for art. \n  \nFor some time now\, the art journal in the boesner main catalog has featured interviews with important contemporary artists. On the occasion of boesner’s 40th anniversary in 2022\, the interview is dedicated to the topic “Inspiration and Material”. \n  \n  \n  \nRead the interview with artist Dietmar Brixy here: \n  \n  \n \nArtist Dietmar Brixy\n  \n  \n\nWhat inspires you?\n\nNature is very important to me\, especially my garden\, which I planted and maintain myself many years ago. It always gives me energy and new ideas. Many of my motifs are vegetal\, the fig leaf for example\, my leitmotif\, you could say\, which symbolizes the Garden of Eden for me. Since my travels to the tropics\, such as Malaysia\, bamboo has also become a motif for me\, which of course cannot be missing in my garden in Mannheim. Often I put flowers in my studio to paint\, which are also allowed to wilt\, because that’s how life shows itself. \n  \n\nHow much is the material itself part of your inspiration?\n\nAlthough I once studied sculpture\, I eventually became a painter whose material is color. In my work\, color is also conceived and modeled in a plastic way\, so that its dynamics are a game of ideas and coincidence\, in other words\, the momentum of color can be very inspiring. \n  \n\nWhat is more routine in your work – and where does the new start for you\, the adventure or the risk?\n\nThe priming\, I would say. All my canvases are first primed in black and then in a first step painted with oil paint or splashed in a kind of dripping. This is where the actual creative part begins and is repeated several times\, because each of the up to five or six layers of paint must dry before the next step can follow. \n  \n\nDo you have a preferred material?\n\nFor the large paintings\, I exclusively use oil paint on canvas or nettle. When traveling\, on the other hand\, I switch to paper and acrylic paint because it’s handier and dries much faster. My materials certainly include things of nature\, such as the fig leaf\, which I like to use as a printing form myself. \n  \n\nMany materials are tried and tested and almost irreplaceable. Do you still like to try out new things\, and are you interested in the materials others use?\n\nNo\, not really. You have your experiences and know your colors very well. As long as nature does not create new wavelengths of light or sensitize the eye to other spectral ranges\, there are no fundamentally new colors. \n  \n\nHow do you keep it with the little workshop secrets – special mixtures\, your own formulas\, little tricks … Do you share such discoveries with others?\n\nPainters used to be half alchemists\, but today industrially produced paints can hardly be optimized. Of course\, I have acquired a certain skill or technical virtuosity over the years\, but there is really nothing mysterious about it. So I let myself film at work\, so that everyone can see how my pictures are created. \n  \n\nFriedrich Schiller could only write poetry with the smell of rotting apples in his desk drawer – what do you think is an essential part of creativity?\n\nWell that’s a legend I don’t really believe. I\, for one\, don’t take drugs\, mood enhancers\, alcohol or marijuana\, which can be quite normal for painters. No\, physical fitness is more important to me. That is\, for example\, long walks with my dogs or working in the garden\, which makes you awake and therefore creative. \n  \n\nOn the radio or from a playlist\, loud or soft in the background: special music underpins your creative process.\n\nCreative process is now really a very old-fashioned term. I myself prefer the simple word work. And music is to me what apples might once have been to Schiller. With the former pumping station\, I have created a huge and acoustically great studio where you can listen to music really loud. And my plants like that too\, I think. My favorite music is Johann Sebastian Bach and various operas or jazz rock by Keith Jarrett or Jan Garbarek. \n  \n\nWhen is a work finished?\n\nWhen I sign it. \n  \n\nWho do you show it to first and with what expectations?\n\nMy partner David. I really appreciate his honest criticism\, even if it can’t change a finished painting.

SUMMARY:journey - exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Mannheim artist Dietmar Brixy is opening the doors of the Altes Pumpwerk in Mannheim-Neckarau again this year for his exhibition “journey”. From 23 September to 16 October\, he invites art lovers on a tour of his artist’s residence and presents compositions from his new series of paintings “JOURNEY” as well as selected works from earlier creative phases in the interior and exterior spaces of the industrial monument. The exhibition is complemented by sculptures by guest artist Lothar Seruset in cooperation with the Tammen Gallery from Berlin. \n  \nJourney – the promise of new worlds\n  \nColourful\, intense\, and with a moving\, stirring dynamic\, the viewer is addressed and instinctively drawn into Dietmar Brixy’s latest art. It is the colourful invitation to joy\, to let go of thoughts\, to feel freedom. The artist Dietmar Brixy’s new series of paintings\, Journey\, instantly promises a feeling of departure. As in earlier series of works\, the artist achieves a maximum of emotion through the unusual use of colour and structure\, thus inviting us to embark on an exceptional journey through his pictorial worlds. \n\nDietmar Brixy’s works are the expression of an intensive creative process – in the course of which the artist repeatedly reworks the composition of the painting to gradually approach the creative whole. Brixy begins with a black primed support\, usually nettle or canvas\, and\, layer by layer\, superimposes it with layers of colour conceived in tension and dynamism. What in the final result seems so natural and playful to the viewer is the powerful alternation of action and reaction\, of applying colour and reducing it in the course of the creative process. For the artist\, this is a continuous opening and closing of the pictorial surface in search of space and of new landscapes. In truth\, however\, this is not realistically tangible; it is rather Dietmar Brixy’s desire to capture the idea and the feeling of a potential landscape in the language of colours. The interplay of shapes\, colours and contours creates associations with diverse forms of vegetation\, thus allowing all viewers to immerse themselves in their own respective world of experience and sensation. \n\n  \n \nJourney\, 2022\, Öl auf Nessel\, 180 x 140 cm\n  \nA striking feature of Journey are the extraordinarily bright colours: radiant yellow\, warm orange\, delicate green. The compositions reveal an almost early summer brightness\, partly accentuated by the use of white as a valeur. Time and again\, these bright colours contrast with dark greens and blues as if to intensify their radiance. Almost unconsciously\, Dietmar Brixy lets the viewer dive deeper into the composition\, level by level. Like a curtain pulled aside and upwards\, the areas of colour created in dynamic movements reveal a delicate\, shimmering centre. The viewer’s approach to the works is enabled by Brixy’s final level of aesthetic configuration. The striking fig leaves\, dipped in diluted oil paint and then pulled out of the pastose paint\, which dissolve the powerful movements like counterparts\, offer the bridge between real nature and abstract landscape as a representational motif. Through the artist’s varied handling of the material\, vast territories\, deep ravines or broken layers of earth are conjured up. In this series\, Brixy once again achieves the impression of three-dimensionality. Deep blue surfaces are painted sharply upwards\, pressing very close to the foreground of the picture. Superimposed horizontal stripes create the impression of alternating landscape levels as a transition into the depths of space – until finally\, in the background of the picture\, the sun-drenched\, almost monochrome areas extend far into the supposed horizon. Each of these zones has its own character – it is applied over a wide area\, sprayed\, puttied. Dietmar Brixy works with his hands\, spreading transitions\, letting colour emerge from deeper layers or disappear under new structures. His palpable joy in the creative process is not only visible in many fragments\, such as the pastose application of paint\, but is inevitably transferred to the viewer. If one picks out individual details of a work\, it becomes clear just how many images are ‘hidden’ in the picture. Subterranean lava flows can be fathomed\, a deep dark sea surges over the moving seabed or hazy water mists rise up into the pale sky. Journey is a voyage through the world of colours\, revealing the special knowledge of their haptics and the resulting associations. \n  \n \nJourney\, 2022\, Öl auf Nessel\, 160 x 210 cm\n  \nThe choice of colour for this series unconsciously creates a valency that was already used centuries ago in painting for semantic emphasis. In many late medieval works\, for example\, Mary’s blue cloak is in tension with gold-coloured backgrounds; in the baroque period\, a dark hair band imbues even more lustre to a girl’s delicate complexion; at the end of the 19th century\, ripe wheat fields stand out against the deep blue sky; or in the paintings of classical modernism\, the houses of Provence appear even warmer and friendlier against the cool blue of the sea. In Brixy’s works\, too\, there is a close connection between the dialogue of colour\, the contrast between light and dark and the value of the light-flooded centre. It appears as a positive place towards which the eye is involuntarily drawn and with which the viewer associates a sense of openness and lightness. \n  \nIn this latest series\, the title is to be taken literally: this is where a journey can begin. It starts with a first overall impression providing personal images and emotions\, letting us travel further and inviting us to change perspectives\, to look at things literally from a different point of view. This opens up new horizons\, new destinations. It is a journey through the sphere of colours\, through the world of the artist Dietmar Brixy as well as through our own personal worlds of memories and emotions with the aim of discovering something new. \n  \nby Simone Maria Dietz M.A.\, art historian \n  \n  \n  \nSee the creation of “JOURNEY\, 2022\, oil on canvas\, 160 x 420 cm (Diptychon)” by artist Dietmar Brixy from his current series of works JOURNEY.\n  \n\n  \n\n\n  \nShort biography Lothar Seruset\n  \nBorn in Ulm in 1956\, 1988 appointed master student at the Berlin University of the Arts with Prof. J.

SUMMARY:BEGINNINGS
DESCRIPTION:BEGINNINGS\n  \nMore space for even more art\nFor almost 55 years\, Volksbank has been showing in its Weinheim located main branch that it is not only money that it knows something about. What began with around 15 drawings by the graphic artist Gerhard Mehlhase in 1967 is now being taken into a new era with the exhibition “BEGINNINGS” by the Mannheim artist Dietmar Brixy after the customer hall has been renovated and modernised. Although the size of the customer hall has remained unchanged\, Volksbank Kurpfalz has succeeded in creating more space with its new concept – more space for consultations\, but above all more space for art. Newly designed visual axes\, more exhibition space\, new viewing positions and a new projection surface for digital art have been added. With his exhibition\, Brixy not only enriches the visits of all those interested in art\, but adds a significant name to the long list of regional\, national and international artists. \n  \n  \n \nEnd of Innocence Bamboo Bubble\, 2021\, Öl auf Nessel\, ⌀ 160 cm\n  \n\nThe laudatory speech at the vernissage will be held by Ms Dorothee Baer-Bogenschütz.\nDorothee Baer-Bogenschütz\, born in Frankfurt am Main\, is an art historian and journalist. She works as a freelance author and art critic for art magazines and daily newspapers\, is editor of KUNSTZEITUNG and Informationsdienst KUNST. Among other things\, she wrote regularly for the Frankfurter Rundschau for many years\, discussed in the context of the “3sat” broadcast series “Bilderstreit”. She is a member of the advisory board of the art fair art KARLSRUHE. Numerous contributions to art books and monographs\, in addition to lectures\, moderations\, jury activities. \n  \n  \n\n  \n  \n  \nThis is what the art historian says about the artist Dietmar Brixy\n(Extracts from catalogue „BRIXY REFLECT“\, 2021\, p.45-58) \n  \nFantastical seedtime-markings\, a dense canopy of wonders\, odes to the Dionysian\, secret dabblings in the surreal\, playground of nature sprites—or even mood boards for Elvis Presley’s Jungle Room at Graceland? \n  \nWhat exactly is it that Dietmar Brixy makes in his sun-drenched studio\, with its Gothic Revival architecture and views of verdant green bamboo groves\, fig trees\, camellias\, and rare rhododendron varieties like the Blue Peter? Mysterious metaphors\, cryptic symbolism\, serpentine beauty? Nature—be it sublimely bountiful or frenetically wild\, tenderly sprouting or flagrantly expiring—seems to have an allegorical role in his art. And beyond the purely vegetal\, our eye also catches glimpses of cosmic phenomena. Brixy’s paintings lead us into far-off galaxies\, no matter which phase of his career or series of works they belong to. They manifest as an outlandish\, bewildering but enticing mixtum compositum. They bewitch\, beguile\, and bemuse the beholder. Why? He steps in front of dream horizons. \n  \nBrixy plays an adept\, deliberate game with the imagination: even if the viewer cannot physically walk through these pictorial spaces\, she still longs to do so. Brixy’s paintings are inherently imbued with longing\, right down to the most delicate brushstrokes. What is more\, they radiate an almost magical\, alchemical power. It operates like a promise that stimulates all the senses. Brixy creates images that the mind can lose itself in—a territory where the senses gain ground. Formal appeal and sensual excitement: these things go hand in hand. \n  \nBrixy forcefully but nonchalantly plays with our rationalized assumptions\, well-practiced methods of interpretation\, and traditional depictions of nature. His works are never about affirmation or reinforcement; they are excursions into the (as yet unseen) fantastical. In these bewildering paintings full of unearthly beauty and stimulation\, leaving any sense of realism behind is part of the agenda. \n  \n \nReflect\, 2021\, Öl auf Nessel\, 120 x 90 cm\n  \nInfo on the solo exhibition\nWe cordially invite you and your friends to the opening of the exhibition “BEGINNINGS” on Thursday\, 2 June 2022\, 7:00 pm. Carsten Müller\, Spokesman of the Board of Volksbank Kurpfalz eG\, will welcome you. Introductory words will be spoken by Dorothee Baer-Bogenschütz\, art historian and journalist\, Wiesbaden. Musical accompaniment: Running Five from Hemsbach. The artist will be present at the opening. \n\n  \nOpening: Thursday\, 02.06.22 | 19:00 hrs \nExhibition duration: 02.06.22 – 15.07.22 \nOpening hours: The exhibition is open during bank hours. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Biomorphic Cosmos
DESCRIPTION:Biomorphic Cosmos\nFrom 21 May to 25 June\, the Christian Marx Gallery in Düsseldorf will be showing many BRIXY paintings in the solo exhibition “BIOMORPHIC COSMOS”. \n  \nLocated in Düsseldorf’s stilwerk\, Christian Marx Gallery has been representing international art in the fields of painting\, sculpture\, drawing\, graphics and photography since 2009. Gallery owner Christian Marx presents his select group of artists at numerous solo and group exhibitions as well as at international art fairs. One of the gallery owner’s focuses is on promoting young graduates of the Düsseldorf Art Academy. Many of the artists are master students of renowned professors such as Markus Lüpertz\, Jörg Immendorff\, Günther Uecker\, Jannis Kounellis\, Thomas Ruff\, Tal R. or Peter Doig. The Christian Marx Galerie is a member of the Federal Association of German Galleries and Editions. \n  \n  \n\nNot from this World Bamboo Bubble\, 2022\, Öl auf Nessel\, ø 200 cm\n  \n  \nThis is what gallery owner Christian Marx says about artist Brixy\n  \nColour\, power\, structure\, form\, sculpture\, painting\, nature\, aesthetics and a good dose of gut feeling.\n  \nIn a nutshell:\nIt’s my wife’s fault! It was she who\, during our visit to the art.fair in Cologne\, stood fascinated in front of a wall installation of Brixy’s bubbles and raved about the wonderful aesthetics and colourfulness of the objects. \n  \nFrankly speaking:\nYes\, I liked the installation too\, but as a representative of artists who devote themselves exclusively to figurative painting\, at that moment when Dietmar Brixy thrust a catalogue into my hand and said we could keep it\, I didn’t even think about gallery representation. And yet\, a small flame was lit. Gut feeling. \n  \nHonestly:\nThe gallery owner Dietmar gave the book to was still in his infancy and had not participated in a single fair as an exhibitor himself\, let alone been anything like an enrichment to the Brixy cosmos. And what does Dietmar Brixy do? He continues to invite me to his exhibitions and fairs\, sends me his publications and keeps in touch. For this I thank you\, dear Dietmar\, the gallery owner could mature like the wine in the cellar of the pumping station. \n  \nIn other words:\nOne day I couldn’t resist the fascination of Brixy any longer\, picked up the phone and we made an appointment at Pumpwerk. In principle\, I could stop at this point\, because anyone who has had the pleasure of visiting this special place knows exactly what happens now. It is nothing less than the discovery of a planet whose gravitational pull goes far beyond what is known. More object than flat painting\, the works know how to unfold their effect in space. Brixy’s original artistic activity as a sculptor cannot be overlooked. Like a relief\, the painter/sculptor creates an impressive depth on the two-dimensionality of the canvas. By means of superimpositions\, horizons are created\, shapes and structures provide support and the power of the colour allows the viewer to dive into the deepest interior. \n  \nClearly said:\nDietmar Brixy has developed an unmistakable style whose intensity forces the vast majority of recipients to either reject it completely or be totally enthusiastic. Or perhaps not after all? Once you have opened yourself to Brixy’s fascination\, you will no longer be able to escape its spell. From my many years of representation\, I can tell you of collectors who initially signalled little enthusiasm for Brixy’s work\, only to come into the gallery one day and suddenly be surprised with the sentence “I’ll buy this one”. Although Dietmar Brixy’s signature is unmistakable\, he manages to maintain an enormous development\, change and creativity in his cosmos\, so that quite often completely new perspectives on his work open up. This much is certain; only very few artists are granted this. \n  \nLast said:\nEach entry into the cosmos of the artist Dietmar Brixy manages to touch the inner self. Always personal and in very different ways\, it is human nature to react completely divergently to Dietmar’s work. Where one person perceives the aestheticisation as a blockade\, for the other it means having found a bridge to penetrate further. This could be continued indefinitely. It can only be explained by the structure of the respective observer\, but the gift of Dietmar Brixy and his art is to elicit these emotions and emotions. It is like the mirror in the mirror\, always a next step\, always a new level\, always the next horizon. Discover\, Surprise\, Horizon………..Happy!!!!!!!! \n  \n  \n  \nInfo about the solo exhibition \nOpening: Saturday\, 21.05.22 | 14.00 h – 17.00 h \nExhibition duration: 21.05.22 – 25.06.22 \nOpening hours: Mon. – Sat: 10.00 h – 18.00 h (and by appointment) \nHERE YOU CAN GO DIRECTLY TO THE VIRTUAL VIEWING ROOM OF THE EXHIBITION

SUMMARY:REFLECT - SINNNENSUCHE
DESCRIPTION:REFLECT – Sinnensuche\nThe art association Villa Streccius in Landau presents artist Dietmar Brixy and the sculptress Sonja Edle von Hoeßle in the exhibition “REFLECT – SINNENSUCHE” from 13 May to 26 June. \n \nArt association Villa Streccius e.V. – Landau Photo: Astrid Diehl \n  \nSonja Edle von Hoeßle creates graceful-looking sculptures without concrete beginning and end points. Her theme is the endless loop. She varies simple cuboid shapes in space into circles and lines or lets them run as arcs\, partly overlapping. Straight elements alternate with oscillations\, tension with relaxation. Depending on the positioning and perspective\, completely different views\, vistas and shadow plays arise. Her figures are expansive\, deliberately incorporating the empty space. She works in small format in steel partly in gold and large format in corten steel. Her works radiate a simple elegance. In their movement and unity\, they symbolise the eternal cycle of life and nature. \n  \n \nSonja Edle von Hoeßle\, “Endlosschleife 43VI”\, Cortenstahl H 75 cm B 145 cm T 85 cm\, 2021 \n  \nThe concise sculptures by Sonja Edle von Hoeßle in their lightness form an impressive counterpart to the emotional rush of colours in the wokring series “Reflect”\, “Horizon” and “Happy” by the Mannheim artist Dietmar Brixy. On the one hand\, the respective titles refer to his working method\, the testing of new techniques\, the inclusion of fingers and hands alongside brush and palette knife. This creates relief-like pictorial structures and changes in perspective\, sometimes horizontal\, sometimes vertical\, with unexpected views in\, out and through. Colour blurs\, colour contrasts\, overlaps\, juxtapositions generate an enormous impasto colour layer painting. Very agitated\, lively zones stand next to completely calm\, smooth surfaces\, both complement each other and form a total work of art. \n  \n \nBrixy\, Reflect\, 2021\, Öl auf Nessel\, 180 x 240 cm \n  \n  \n  \nTradition meets Modernism – Dietmar Brixy at the Kunstverein Villa Streccius\, Landau \nText from the catalogue “BRIXY REFLECT”\, S. 109-110 \nEditor: Galerie Tammen\, Berlin & Kunstverein der Villa Streccius in Landau e.V. \n  \n“Following passions\, realizing dreams” in and through art. \n  \nDietmar Brixy\, who once made the above statement about his own painting\, derives his inspiration from the rich variety of colors and forms found in nature. Brixy creates atmospheric pictures\, explosions of color\, frequently without boundaries\, and just as often with strong contours. In terms of content\, his paintings make no attempt at realism and the arrangement of the various compositional elements is paramount to understanding them. \n  \nThe artist’s main source of inspiration is his immediate environment: the Altes Pumpwerk and its lush gardens in Neckarau where he lives. The former wastewater pumping station was built in 1903 and designed by the city architect of Mannheim\, Richard Perry. The Neo-Gothic brick building is 35 meters long and 11 meters high. The ornamental structure of the facades\, especially to the front of the building\, and the large arched lattice windows make it seem more like a piece of sacral architecture than an industrial site. \n  \nDietmar Brixy grew up in the vicinity of the pumping station and fell in love with the building while still a child. In 2001\, he was finally able to realize his childhood dream. After purchasing the landmarked building\, he converted it into a studio and living space surrounded by magnificent gardens. His fantastical paintings with their sensational colors are created in this incredible atmosphere. Art is not just about art\, but about our very existence\, about living interaction\, the relationship between the individual and the environment. If art is to do its job\, it has to explore the world that surrounds us. This includes landscapes\, cities\, nature\, and technology\, but also involves the communication of moods\, emotions\, and sensations like light and color. Brixy’s main focus is the natural landscape just outside his studio\, including the natural diversity of its forms as well as details and close-ups of the plant life. He has the amazing ability to capture specific moods and an outstanding sense of the beauty of his natural environment\, which he knows best how to express in his art. The artist has developed his own signature style that makes his paintings instantly recognizable and has contributed significantly to his acclaim. Brixy’s paintings are unique and unmistakably his own. \n  \nThe power of Dietmar Brixy’s paintings varies depending on where they are presented. In the Neo-Gothic industrial building where they were made\, they have a direct connection to their surroundings. They bring the beauty and rich variety of color from the surrounding gardens into the light-flooded rooms of the artist’s spacious studio and the former engine house. \n  \nHis compositions have a very different impact\, however\, when seen in the setting of a grand house—such as the Villa Streccius in Landau. Designed by the architect Ludwig Levy\, Villa Streccius was built in 1893 in a Neo-Baroque style. The notary Heinrich Streccius\, who commissioned the building\, insisted on high-quality materials such as marble\, fine timber beams\, and elaborate metalwork. The generous living quarters across two floors around a rotunda have been turned into an exhibition space more than 300 square meters in size. In the coming year\, the Kunstverein will be hosting an exhibition of Dietmar Brixy’s work\, including new pieces by the artist that are going on show to the public for the first time. One thing’s for sure: the sensuousness and richness of Dietmar Brixy’s rapturous compositions of color will be seen to full effect in this atmospheric setting. \n  \nDr. Monica Jager-Schlichter \nKunstverein Villa Streccius in Landau e.V.

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONS IN SPRING 2022
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends of art\, \nIn the next months\, my paintings will be shown in numerous galleries and institutions. Many thanks to the gallery owners\, their staff and the BRIXY team\, who are all involved in the planning and realisation of the exhibitions! \n  \nThe gallery owners\, the BRIXY team and I would be delighted if you would visit the exhibitions! \n  \nWith kind regards\,\nYour Dietmar Brixy \n\nWe start on 3 May with a group exhibition at the Barbara von Stechow Gallery in Frankfurt am Main. The title “IN BLOOM” already foreshadows the spring-like and floral mood inherent in this exhibition. The exhibition will run until 22 June.\n\n  \n\nFrom 13.05. to 26.06. the Kunstverein Villa Streccius in Landau will show various paintings from the series “Reflect”\, “Horizon” and “Happy”. In an emotional rush of colours\, the exhibition “REFLECT – SINNENSUCHE” shows Brixy art in the large and light-flooded rooms of the former residence of the royal notary Heinrich Streccius.\n\n  \n\nThe gallery owner Dirk Supper will present my works for the first time in the group exhibition “AUFBRUCH” from 14.05. to 23.07. to the art-interested visitors in his gallery in Baden-Baden. The title of the exhibition literally symbolises the way into something new and exciting that may be coming.\n\n  \n\nFrom 21 May to 25 June\, the Christian Marx Gallery in Düsseldorf will be showing many of my works in the solo exhibition “BIOMORPHIC COSMOS”. The gallery owner recently noted: “Although Dietmar Brixy’s signature is unmistakable\, he manages to maintain an enormous development\, change and creativity in his cosmos\, so that not infrequently completely new perspectives on his work open up. This much is certain; very few artists are granted this.”\n\n  \n\n“BEGINNINGS” – this is the title of the large Brixy solo exhibition to mark the inauguration of the Volksbank Kurpfalz gallery. For almost 55 years\, the Volksbank has been showing visitors art by regional\, national and international artists in its Weinheim main building. After the renovation and modernisation of the customer hall\, the exhibition\, which runs from 2 June to 15 July\, marks the beginning of a new era.

SUMMARY:Ripe & Juicy
DESCRIPTION:Ripe & Juicy\nby Dr Dietmar Schuth M.A.\, Museum Blau\, Schwetzingen\, text from the catalogue “Dietmar Brixy: Ripe & Juicy“\, 2010. \nThe catalogue was published in 2010 on the occasion of the exhibitions of the same name at the Kunstverein Schwetzingen\, the Orangerie of Schwetzingen Palace and the Kunstverein Worms. \n  \nTo this day\, the orangery in the world-famous Schwetzingen Palace Gardens still serves as the winter residence for sun-loving Mediterranean plants sensitive to frost\, including fig and citrus trees\, especially orange trees\, which gave name to this Baroque architecture in the 18th century. Back then\, almost every well-off feudal prince indulged in the luxury of having an orangery in his palaces and summer residences. The land of Arcadia was simply moved up a few degrees of latitude\, in defiance of the central European climate. This genius loci has inspired several exhibitions by the Kunstverein Schwetzingen in the past and is now experiencing a revival through the paintings of the Mannheim artist Dietmar Brixy. \n  \nEven the title of the exhibition alludes to the location\, generating pleasant anticipation of the ripe and juicy fruits of summer which are now – in the spring of 2010 – only just buds or blossoms. Dietmar Brixy\, himself a passionate gardener with many citrus trees in his care\, was looking forward to this project like almost no other\, preparing it with great passion. He bought an annual pass to the gardens months in advance and found inspiration and ideas here which have now been realized in a large series of new paintings. In fact\, Brixy created more works than the halls of the orangery have room for\, allowing the Worms Kunstverein to exhibit his paintings in their more urban setting as well. \n  \n \nOrangery Schwetzingen Palace\n  \nColour itself is his primary subject\n  \n“Ripe and juicy” describes more than just the summer fruits that Brixy chose as the figurative theme of his likewise ripe and juicy painting. Brixy’s primary theme is the paint itself\, which showcases itself in almost illicitly beautiful and sensual painting that balances between figuration and abstraction\, taking form in an elaborate creative process\, which I will briefly describe. In a first step\, the artist creates an initial layer of paint\, a wash of many colors\, which he applies to the canvas using American action painting techniques. Once this layer dries\, the second layer can follow. This layer is also applied in action painting style\, but is more controlled and gestural. The artist spreads the pasty paint not so much with brushes\, but rather with painting knives\, spatulas\, and his hands. However\, the first layer is not completely covered over\, but rather scratched free\, enriching the pasty coloration with myriad pointillist nuances. \n  \nThis spatula technique is primarily reminiscent of the abstract works of Gerhard Richter in a style his master\, Karl Otto Götz\, anticipated in black and white. Spreading several different paints together with painting knives\, spatulas and hand brooms creates streaky grooves. Apparent shadows created by the lighter and darker components thus create the illusion of plasticity. A wavy line painted in this manner no longer seems flat\, but rather it writhes – thicker here\, thinner there – spatially through the picture like the snake through the Garden of Eden. \n  \nHowever\, in Dietmar Brixy’s paintings\, these streaky snaky lines do not remain abstract as they did in Richter’s or Götz’s artworks\, but are molded into an associative gestalt\, interpretable as rivers or real snakes or flying dragons. If you want to\, you can also see meteorological or geological formations. The mind is free. In addition\, horizontal passages are added\, giving the paintings landscape characteristics\, with a horizon\, land\, and a mostly high and open sky. The painting thus breaks free of the two dimensionality of the canvas\, opening a third dimension for the eye and channeling it into a realm of color which no observer can evade. \n  \n \nRapture\, 2011\, Öl auf Nessel\, 90 x 120 cm\n  \nAll in all\, this creates a multi-layered\, relief-like surface\n  \nIn older series\, Brixy shaped his gestures into gnarled branches of grape vines olive trees\, likewise placing them in front of horizontal structure to evoke vineyards or olive groves. In other series he conjured ginkgo trees or bamboo grass to create a nearly ornamental aesthetic with Japanese overtones so loved by Van Gogh or in the Art Nouveau style at the end of the 19th century. In the “Ripe & Juicy” series\, fig\, lemon and orange trees are recognizable by the fruits they bear and their characteristic leaves. \n  \nDietmar Brixy collected some of these leaves in the Schwetzingen Palace Gardens\, imprinting them onto the still damp oil paints\, a technique familiar since Max Ernst. To this\, Brixy adds additional paint applications and sprays reminiscent of the dripping technique also invented by Max Ernst and popularized by Jackson Pollock. All said and done\, the result is a multi-layered relief surface with haptic quality presenting the ultimate in physical and visual colorfulness. \n  \nAs for iconography\, Brixy desires more than to release and channel his feelings in his paintings. He strives to create not only sensuality\, but also content. In 2007\, the Kunstverein Schwetzingen held the exhibit “Orange–Fruit+Paint\,” presenting research on the origin and meaning of citrus fruits. They learned that lemons have been cultivated in the Mediterranean region for about 1\,000 years\, but that oranges first arrived to Europe in the 16th century and only slowly spread here. Due to this delay\, no symbolism at all could be developed around the orange in the extremely important art of the Middle Ages. It could not be interpreted as a fruit of paradise and crowd out the apple or the pomegranate because no one knew about it. The orange also arrived on the scene too late for early Renaissance still life painting and was only occasionally represented in Dutch paintings from the 17th century. \n  \n \nChinotto\, 2010\, Öl auf Nessel\, 120 x 90 cm\n  \nHis new series is sunnier than painting before\n  \nThe situation is different for the fig\, which was already mentioned in the Bible\, and which has been growing in Dietmar Brixy’s paintings longer\, playing a symbolic role as an erotic fruit of paradise in his last big painting cycle\, “Eden.” In contrast\, citrus fruits are too young\, from a cultural historical perspective\, for interpretations of this type. At best\, they can be experienced from a modern perspective as sensually sweet fruits\, creating impact less through their form as through their color\, conveying pure sunlight with a slightly exotic flair\, seeing as the fruits are native to East Asia\, where the colors yellow and orange have a much richer cultural-historical tradition and even a spiritual dimension. \n  \nWith this in mind\, Dietmar Brixy’s new paintings should not be viewed through a narrow symbolic\, not to mention symbolistic\, lens. His new series is sunnier than the earlier paintings. His ripe and juicy fruits should be viewed less as symbols than as motives that the genius loci cast into the horn of plenty of his artwork. Citrus fruits represent a Baroque culture of life and joy\, which has quite accidentally yet very appropriately become native in Dietmar Brixy’s likewise heavily Baroque painting. The fruits have not always retained their original color\, but rather are often expressively lavished with a wash of totally different colors. Sometimes they are only realistic contours of a thoroughly exotic fantasy fruit. \n  \n \nRapture\, 2011\, Öl auf Nessel\, 50 x 40 cm\n  \nDietmar Brixy lives his utopia in the here and now\n  \nThe two impressively large paintings conceived specifically for the orangery at Schwetzingen Palace are even more fantastic. Towering six meters tall like abstract Michelangelo frescos\, the paintings stand at both front ends of the 60 m long hall. Their subject matter\, like once in Rome\, is the end of the word. However\, in this case they evoke the Baroque revelry in the park\, a painted landscape shining at the end of a foreshortened tapered pergola\, painted on a spherical wall and optically distanced by a dark frame\, creating the illusion of a far-away fairytale landscape. Brixy has known this small gem since his childhood and has taken the opportunity to fantasize this dream image anew. \n  \nBoth pictures reference the foreshortened suggestion of the pergola\, but the grid dissolves into artistically snaking lines. In one of the two paintings\, a small portrait of the original landscape is recognizable in the middle of the breathtaking painting\, but it is no longer significant. The path to the goal\, the paints that lead to the fixed point\, are more important than the illusion of a distant desire. Applied to the aesthetic concept of the artist\, that means that he is not striving for some kind of utopia through his art. Dietmar Brixy lives his utopia in the here and now\, he lives his painting\, his feelings\, his paints. He loves life\, loves art and nature\, loves the Schwetzingen Palace Garden and all the beauty of this world. \n \n  \n \nExhibition views: Orangery Schwetzingen Palace\n  \n—————————————— \nCurrent exhibition in Berlin shows early works by artist Dietmar Brixy \n  \nDIETMAR BRIXY | RETROSPECTIVE 1991 – 2021 | PAINTING \nTammen Gallery presents works by the Mannheim-based artist from the last 30 years.

SUMMARY:THE GESAMTKUNSTWERK AND THE POWER STATION
DESCRIPTION:THE GESAMTKUNSTWERK AND THE POWER STATION\nIn the Energy Field of Wanting to Paint and Being Able to Live\n  \nby Dr Ulrike Lorenz\, former director of the Kunsthalle Mannheim\, current president of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar\, text from the catalogue “DISCOVER BRIXY“\, 2014\, page 30-35. \n  \n„Total art asks the question: ‘WHAT IS THE POINT OF IT ALL?’ and answers: Its goal is to make culture possible…”…“ Bazon Brock \n  \nIndividuals act as artists when an exemplary communication of creation and work that exacts attention grows out of the unity of their thought\, desire\, and ability. The audience appreciates the artist\, who functions as the governor of his or her own yearning. Brixy is a prototype of joyful desire in the transgressive energy fi eld of life and art: an independent painter in an enclosed Garden of Eden under the towering chimneys of the large power station on the Rhine in Mannheim. The place\, the oeuvre\, and the person determine one another. An all-encompassing interrelation develops out of this contextual fabric\, which brings artistic production and aesthetic experience into close proximity\, whereby contemplation and exaltation enter a relationship of direct exchange on both sides. \n  \nBorn in 1961 to a humble Mannheim family\, Brixy developed immense creative powers of compensation from the anachronistic desire for a mythical place surrounded by the tangible beauty of nature\, which he created in accordance with his mental image. Through autonomous action\, he went on to carve out a successful artist’s biography over the course of the last two decades. Ten years after studying at Karlsruhe’s art academy\, Brixy realized a childhood dream of the future in close proximity to his origins. In 2001\, he acquired the old pumping station of Neckerau\, which had been robbed of its original function. Over the course of two years he care fully transformed the imposing neo-Gothic industrial monument into an originary space for art and life\, and designed an enchanting garden landscape as a constant source of inspiration and of balance. Surrounded by camellias\, bamboo\, and magnolias\, the large-format painting expressions in vibrant colors that have become Brixy’s trademark have been created in the machine hall of the pumping station\, which remains largely unchanged. \n  \n \n  \nThis isle of the blessed\, shielded from everyday life and yet porous for the world\, is both the starting point and the end point of an impressively powerful creation of the self\, and a space in which a self-confi dent claim to recognition can resonate. It is to this place that the artist returns time and again from his working trips to exotic lands. And it is to this place that he regularly invites an ever-changing audience to see exhibitions of his paintings\, which inevitably assume the character of an installation in the industrial historical ambience. This\, in turn\, is what actually brings the event-like nature of the painting to the fore. The place determines the painting. The painting animates the place. Pathos and energy characterize both. The inimitable transformative achievement of causing one to grow out of the other and of keeping both up in the air\, however\, is effected by the artist. No wastewater churns its way through the perfectly formed subterranean canals of the pumping station now. Instead\, an all-engulfi ng maelstrom of swirling masses of color and fragments of form is dis charged upon the surfaces of larger-than-life canvases. \n  \nIn this respect\, Brixy’s painting can be considered to be specifi c to the place. By providing exemplary representations of scenarios of the transgression of boundaries – of time and space\, of nature and culture\, of place and painting – it is an expression of a gesamtkunstwerk conception despite its mono-medial character. Brixy’s concept of the penetration of life and painting is governed by an obsession with the realization of a painting of the whole\, and a personal embodiment of the whole. The painter’s life provides a model for holistic experience\, characterized by a stimulating sensualism whose disquietude is transferred to the audience. The paintings\, which were created in a controlled frenzy of action\, aim to achieve an activation of all sensory capabilities to perceive aesthetic experiences\, and defi ne the aesthetic experience itself as a continuing performative act brought about by the indissoluble tension between the represented and the representation\, between the viewer and the work of art. \n  \n \nDiscover\, 2012\, oil on canvas\, 120 x 180 cm\n  \nBrixy works in the tradition of artist-entrepreneurs\, who always also understood themselves as creators of worlds in keeping with a metaphorical analogy to the God of Creation\, which has existed since the Renaissance: the mover and defi ner of the self. As a painter\, Brixy is the lord of the aesthetic manor. He has mastered the apparatuses and the historical codes of the medium. This makes it possible for him to live the bearable lightness of being as an artist. His paintings prove to be windows not on the world\, but on other paintings and the paintings of others. They develop meta-orders of the observation of painting and of the history of painting. Like microscopes\, they show selected details up close or at a distance; they combine fragments\, painting methods\, and materials\, and they observe physical principles and mechanical effects. Brixy piles layer after layer of paint matter one on top of the other\, partially exposes them again\, wipes and scratches\, works with paintbrushes\, scrapers and hands\, presses fi g leaves and palm fronds into the pastose masses\, and leaves physical traces using combs\, squeegees\, and fingers. \n  \n \n  \nDiscover\, 2014\, oil on canvas\, 120 x 180 cm\n  \nThis painting is premised upon the mobile gaze\, which is fragmented and fi ltered\, which reproduces and condenses\, which varies its focus\, occupies always-new perspectives\, and multiplies itself in “metastasizing reproduction” (Christian Janecke). This results in paintings that are like movable windows with variable depths of fi eld and a multiplicity of references to the simultaneity of that which is not simultaneous and to the parallel nature of handwritings and painterly conditionings. In this way\, the painter surmounts the opposition of the abstract and the fi gurative\, and enters a new fi eld of narration that is not allegorical but formal. Brixy delivers his examples of the dissemination of the visual in the present from a studioparadise that directly borders the fi ve active blocks of a large-scale energy supplier that works on the basis of stone coal. This is a powerful symbol for the fact that\, with his painting of observation of the second order\, he operates at the very heart of the energy fi eld of the gesamtkunstwerk and the cultural production of society. \n  \n—————————————— \nCurrent exhibition in Berlin shows early works by artist Dietmar Brixy \n  \nDIETMAR BRIXY | RETROSPECTIVE 1991 – 2021 | PAINTING \nTammen Gallery presents works by the Mannheim-based artist from the last 30 years.
