SUMMARY:art KARLSRUHE 2022
DESCRIPTION:art KARLSRUHE 2022\nFor many years\, art KARLSRUHE 2022 has stood for special art enjoyment. The exhibited positions span more than 120 years of artistic creation. From classical modernism to cutting-edge contemporary works. Over 200 nationally and internationally renowned galleries from 13 countries will delight you as a collector\, art lover or connoisseur with their high-quality offerings of painting\, sculpture\, photography and edition art. \n  \nArranged in spacious exhibition areas between the booths\, sculptures flank the varied gallery programme and guarantee visitors an exciting art experience. The programme of art KARLSRUHE 2022 will also be rounded off by a special show on prints. This will be submitted by the exhibiting galleries and also curated by the advisory board. The special exhibition “Im Zeichen der Weiblichkeit” (“In the Sign of Femininity”) of the Klöckler Collection rounds off the renowned art fair. The collection\, which has been assembled since the end of the 1980s\, is dedicated exclusively to artistic portrayals of women from the post-war period and the present. \n  \nDietmar Brixy will be represented three times at art KARLSRUHE this year.\nHis current works from the “Horizon”\, “Happy” and “Reflect” series will be presented at the stand of the Düsseldorf Christian Marx Galerie (H2/L06). Another absolute highlight of the one-artist show is the Big Bang Bamboo Bubble\, created especially for art KARLSRUHE\, the process of which was recorded on film and will be shown at the fair in a video right next to the original. \n  \n\n  \nA retrospective cross-section of the artist’s earlier works will be presented by the Berlin gallery Tammen (H4/J31) at its stand. \n  \nDietmar Brixy will also be prominently represented at the stand of Galerie Barbara von Stechow\, Frankfurt am Main (H1/A02)\, with further paintings\, among others\, from the current “Happy” series of works. \n  \n  \nDietmar Brixy and the gallery owners look forward to welcoming you at art KARLSRUHE 2022! \n  \nMore information at: www.art-karlsruhe.de

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:AUFBRUCH
DESCRIPTION:AUFBRUCH – GALERIE SUPPER\n  \nThe gallery owner Dirk Supper will present BRIXY works for the first time in the group exhibition “AUFBRUCH” from 14 May to 23 July 2022 to visitors interested in art in his gallery in Baden-Baden. \nThe title of the exhibition literally symbolises the path to something new and exciting that may be coming. \n  \nAfter a long break\, GALERIE SUPPER opens its exhibition rooms again and cordially invites you to the international group exhibition Aufbruch. \n  \nAufbruch brings together 13 artistic expressions with BRIXY\, René Dantes\, Tino Geiss\, Rayk Goetze\, Karin Kneffel\, Andreas Lau\, Mike MacKeldey\, Cornelia Schleime\, Hiroshi Sugimoto\, Monika Thiele\, Andreas Wachter\, Anja Warzecha and Sebastian Wehrle. \n– Aufbruch shows duels between positions. \n– Aufbruch stages photography\, the more traditional media of painting\, drawing\, collage and sculpture. \n– Aufbruch presents works that take each other on by being presented in direct context\, whereby it is less about a competitive relationship than about a pluralistic\, mutually enriching juxtaposition. \n– Aufbruch dedicates space in the GALERIE SUPPER for the first time to works by the artists BRIXY and René Dantes. \n  \n  \nAbout GALERIE SUPPER\nFounded in 2002\, GALERIE SUPPER has been shaping Baden-Baden’s exhibition landscape with its current profile since 2012. In particular\, it promotes young\, up-and-coming positions\, each of which is distinguished by an outstanding and unique signature. On an area of approx. 200 m2\, the gallery shows these in a direct context with already established\, globally working artists and exhibits them in a dialogue with and alongside each other.\nIn individual as well as group exhibitions\, fields of tension and interactions between the works and objects are created in this way\, revealing further layers of meaning. \n  \n  \n  \nExhibition info\nPeriod: 14.05.2022 – 23.07.2022 \nExhibition opening: Saturday\, 14.05.2022\, 18 h \nOpening hours during the exhibition: Wed – Fri\, 12 – 18 h | Sat\, 12 – 16 h | and by appointment

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. (Chairwoman) \n  \n  \nInfos about the exhibition\nPeriod: 13.05.2022 – 26.06.2022 \nExhibition opening: Friday\, 13.05.2022\, 7 p.m. \nOpening hours during the exhibition: Tue and Wed 5-8 p.m. | Thu to Sun 2-5 p.m. |Mondays closed

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.

SUMMARY:Paintings from the "Malaysia Cycle"
DESCRIPTION:Early works by Dietmar Brixy 1993/94\n  \nBrixy’s early imagery plumbs depths and origins. Symbolic in content and pictorial in art. Human being is at the centre of the painter’s interest. Essential are: the primal matter of “water”\, chance encounters\, twisted and trodden paths of life. The penetration into and emergence from deep soul worlds and a variable thicket of formal structures dominate the canvases. The power of this pictorial language is fed by the concentration on the essential. \n  \n \n  \nEmergence\, 1993\, oil on linen\, 180 x 120 cm\n  \n  \nDIETMAR BRIXY – Paintings from the “Malaysia Cycle\nby Christel Heybrock (from the catalogue of the same) \n  \nIt seems to be a fundamental human need to see mirrors in the things around us in which we can recognise something of ourselves. In archaic cultures it goes so far that man becomes tributary: to the sun\, to the animal gods\, to a sacred mountain or tree. This expresses the realisation that man is dependent on the earth and is shaped by its conditions\, not vice versa. \n  \nWhen looking at the pictures from Dietmar Brixy’s “Malaysia Cycle”\, one suddenly becomes aware of what occidental civilisation notoriously ignores\, namely those correspondences between man and nature that reach down into the depths. There is indeed the term “soul landscape”\, but isn’t its use already somewhat disreputable and doesn’t it denote the pictures of all too romantic\, world-escape painters who\, in their spunness\, only ever look inwards and flee from trials of preservation in reality? \n  \nDietmar Brixy’s pictures prove again and again how foolish this suspicion is and that the real tests of endurance lie precisely in the inner work – in processing what one has encountered. Happiness and disappointments\, loneliness and experiences of life and fullness want to be absorbed in equal measure and understood as an impetus for growth\, and so key motifs for such processes could already be found in Brixy’s work: for example\, the ladder as an image of progression\, but also of the connection between two sides\, or the snail shell as a sign of a place of protection and encapsulation that made new growth possible from within. \n  \nNow\, then\, the “Malaysia Cycle”\, born out of the experience of a landscape whose abundance and density are overwhelming. In its complexity and impenetrability\, the Southeast Asian jungle actually became the landscape of the soul\, whereby Brixy by no means meant only his own\, but was able to see the personal concern in a supra-personal\, generally human perspective. \n  \n \n  \nMysterious\, 1993\, oil on canvas\, 50 x 40 cm\n\n  \nThe pictures are not easy to receive\, especially not quickly.\n  \nThe jewel-like luminous surface with its sometimes almost painfully intense colours wants to be penetrated in order to be recognisable as the result of a growth process from the deepest to the uppermost layer of paint: the jungle and its laws of vegetation from the swampy ground to palm branches and luminous blossoms found a surprisingly appropriate correspondence in Brixy’s painting method of superimposed layers of paint. \n  \nEntering the “Malaysia cycle” means entering an outer and inner jungle. What seems to be given at first glance changes during the viewing\, as if one could take steps with the eyes. Almost all the paintings in the cycle seem closed at first\, often dominated by the predominance of a single colour on top. These are\, for example\, blue in the “Swimmer”\, yellow-green in the “Jungle Rush” or an aubergine tone mixed from red and white in the picture “Crouching”. Those who are content to recognise these colours and enjoy them see nothing. \n  \nOnly after a longer pause\, perhaps favoured by a change in the daylight\, does the eye work out structures and deeper layers that gradually emerge so intensely that they almost make the dominant surface colour disappear. The impression is then the opposite of the one at the beginning: the surface seems to be pushed into the background and the depth is in the foreground; the structures of form prove to be powerful and penetrating after having hardly appeared at first. Analogously\, what can the gaze grasp when one goes into the jungle on a boat\, as Brixy did? The gaze grasps clouds of green and only later\, near the arduous progress\, trunks\, aerial roots\, lianas\, leaf veins\, in other words the structures and the dark ground of evolved forms. \n  \n \nJungle Creatures\, 1993\, oil on nettle\, 60 x 80 cm\n  \nBrixy’s painting technique has often been described.\n  \nOn top of the primer of the canvas lies a usually very bright colour\, for example red. Except for remnants\, this layer is covered by other colours\, and often a complementary colour lies at the very top. Depending on the rhythmic needs of the painting\, Brixy now scratches the lower layers free again and draws fine\, feathery parallels into the surface with a comb\, giving it something light\, wafting\, breathing. Thus\, a signal-like red may emerge from beneath a fierce blue\, which proves to be weightless during viewing and is in any case the colour of depth and absorption\, or a picture that appears entirely in a light\, spring-like yellow-green becomes increasingly darker\, warmer and at the same time more threatening. \n  \nThe jungle as a landscape of the soul? Are these landscape views in the conventional sense that Brixy painted with the “Malaysia Cycle”? Of course not. What is meant is the outside as well as the inside. The painter only became increasingly aware of the inner fullness\, the threatening wild growth of fears and forces in the human soul\, when he saw the outer jungle. A painting like \,\,Tiefenrausch” reproduces the situation of diving. The real snorkel-diving already seems to take on an undreamed-of glamour when Brixy only reports on this experience\, which is new to him – unconsciously\, he seems to have discovered a primal action\, a process of almost ritual significance for himself with it. Diving below the surface\, the cautious exploration of hidden connections\, wasn’t that already part of his abilities before? \n  \n \nTiefenrausch\, 1993\, oil on linen\, 120 x 180 cm\n\n\n\nAnd now this picture. A blue you only know from dreams.\n  \nAt first sight\, one doubts that it can be endured for a long time\, because in an almost painful way it is increased by spots in red/orange. One should stay with these spots for a while and then scan the blue again. The red/orange\, those actually burdensome\, albeit vital colours in the depths\, is always accompanied by a lighter white\, sometimes in delicate streaks\, or a light green-yellow or darkness up to black. So many colours\, which were hardly recognisable at first\, begin to create a coherence\, a wave movement of water from flashing light reflections and darkness. \n  \nOr does this flickering and sloshing\, this aimless but ever more precisely recognisable change\, this constant exchange\, possibly take place in the depths of the water? At the bottom? Outside and inside\, depth and surface are one in Brixy’s work\, they are subject to a delicate exchange just like the crests of the waves that become the trough of a wave and glitter up again and back into the shadows? \n  \nSo in the middle of the blue there are structures. Two transparent serpentine lines form like umbilical cords in which a liquid pulsates. Or umbilical cords like the tentacles of underwater creatures? From a purely evolutionary point of view\, humans also originate from the water habitat\, which can still be inferred from their prenatal stage. It is not too much to say that Brixy\, diving\, painting\, sounding out depths and origins\, penetrates to the conditions of an existence not yet divided into body here and soul there. \n  \nAn infinitely cautiously suggested human figure can be elicited from the painting “Tiefenrausch” in the middle between the two umbilical cords that create an open\, mandala-like oval. Head and arms\, chest\, belly and legs are the result of thin flickering and gentle little shadows\, nothing else. \n  \n  \nWhat is this picture?\n  \nSelf-portrait of the snorkel diver Brixy? Certainly. The image of a complete integration of man into the water habitat? No doubt. Or is it the symbolic representation of a human being who\, in exploring the depths of his soul\, dives down to the id\, to the innermost part of his person\, to that washed-over and invisible continent that connects all human beings? \n  \nThe questions are wrong\, because there is no ‘or’ in Brixy\, there are only correspondences. The sloshing of the water is at the same time an exchange of meanings. The red that emerges from the depths\, the glitter and the darkness\, they not only give form and structure to an unstructured substance like water\, but also to the unstructured\, potentially chaotic element that man finds in his own depths. There\, something that cannot be named shines\, flashes and sinks just as it does on the surface of that element water that man carries in his history and in his body. \n  \nIn Malaysia\, in the midst of a foreign outside world\, Brixy has opened up a foreign inside world that is just as primeval and primeval as the forest. Even more: he has painted his discoveries. They are pictures of a travelling explorer. \n  \nChristel Heybrock \n  \nCLICK HERE FOR THE CATALOGUE “DIETMAR BRIXY – PICTURES FROM THE MALAYSIA CYCLE” \n  \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:Brixy Retrospective in Berlin
DESCRIPTION:DIETMAR BRIXY | Retrospective 1991 – 2021 | Painting\n  \nThe exhibition “Dietmar Brixy | Retrospective 1991 – 2021”\, taking place at the Tammen Gallery in Berlin\, presents works by the Mannheim-based artist from the last 30 years. The exhibition runs from 3 December 2021 to 19 February 2022. \n  \nA new catalogue “REFLECT” with texts by Dorothee Baer-Bogenschütz\, Dr Dietmar Schuth\, Prof. Dieter Ronte\, Dr Monica Jager-Schlichter and Werner Tammen is available to accompany the exhibition. Publisher: Galerie Tammen & Kunstverein Villa Streccius in Landau e.V. \n  \n \nReflect\, 2021\, oil on canvas\, 180 x 140 cm\n  \n  \nExtract from the new REFLECT catalogue\n  \n“Fantastical 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? What 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 Pe – ter? 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? Because\, in Victor Hugo’s words\, we are confronted with far horizons of dreaming and “the contemplators are probably contemplated.” (Quote: Victor Hugo “The Wretched”\, Munich 1999\, p. 75)” \n  \nDorothee Baer-Bogenschütz in the exhibition catalogue REFLECT from page 45 onwards \n  \n  \n– CLICK HERE FOR THE DIGITAL VERSION OF THE CATALOGUE – \n  \n \nBrixy\, Horizon\, 2018\, oil on canvas\, 120 x 240 cm\n  \n  \n  \nCreative phases and working cycles of the artist Dietmar Brixy\n  \nBrixy works for the most part in working cycles\, after which he titles his paintings. Thus\, his works rarely have individual titles\, but are named after the respective series of works. Some series are not completed and new works are added again and again. The individual cycles thus build on each other chronologically\, but also influence each other anew. \n  \nFrom the very beginning\, the line forms a central motif in Brixy’s early works. As a lifeline\, branching branches or even as a horizon. The essence of the line can be interpreted quite differently depending on the group of works: as the meeting of two individuals whose paths cross\, as it were also as an image for setting out – setting out on the path – or as the crossing of boundaries. \n \nohne Titel\, 1991\, oil on canvas\, 180 x 240 cm\n  \n  \nThese motifs are particularly strong in the avenues from the BEYOND series of works or in the perspective landscapes in HORIZON. The numerous nature motifs in his paintings have an even stronger recognition value. Intertwined branches dominate the scenes in WEINLESE\, ROOTS\, GROW\, EDEN\, DISCOVER\, SURPRISE\, TOMORROW\, ROOM or even HAPPY. The play of light and colour creates deep\, perspective levels. Luminous areas of colour form contrasts with sculpturally modelled formations. \n  \n“Brixy assumes that a work of art is a cosmos that can develop a richness within itself. But not for the artist\, but for the viewer. They are works of art that are directed towards the viewer.” \n  \nProf. Dr. Dieter Ronte Former Director Museum of Modern Art Vienna\, Sprengel Museum Hannover and Kunstmuseum Bonn \n  \n \nAllee\, 2008\, oil on canvas\, 240 x 180 cm\n  \n  \nAbout the artist Dietmar Brixy\n  \n“Born in 1961 in simple circumstances in Mannheim\, Brixy developed immense creative compensatory energies from the anachronistic longing for a mythical place in the midst of the tangible beauty of nature\, which he created according to his inner image. Over the past two decades\, a successful artist’s biography has been formed through self-responsible action. Ten years after his studies at the Karlsruhe Art Academy\, Brixy realised a childhood dream in the immediate vicinity of his origins. In 2001\, he acquired the Old Pumping Station Neckarau\, which had been deprived of its function\, carefully converted the imposing neo-Gothic industrial monument into an original art and living space over a period of two years and designed an enchanting garden landscape as a constant source of inspiration and balance. Surrounded by camellias\, bamboo and magnolias\, the breathtaking\, almost unchanged machine hall of the pumping station has since been the setting for the large-format\, strongly coloured painting expressions that have become Brixy’s trademark. \n  \n  \nThis island of the blessed\, shielded from everyday life and yet porous to the world\, is both the starting point and the destination of an impressively powerful self-design\, the resonance chamber of a self-confident claim to validity. This is where the artist returns again and again from his work trips to exotic countries. Here he regularly invites a changing public to exhibitions of his paintings\, which inevitably take on an installation character in the industrial-historical ambience\, which is what really brings out the eventfulness of the painting. The place determines the painting. Painting animates the place. Pathos and energy characterise both.” \n  \nDr Ulrike Lorenz former Director of the Mannheim Kunsthalle\, today President of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar \n  \n  \n \nBlaue Schneckenengel\, 1998\, oil on canvas\, 180 x 240 cm

SUMMARY:REFLECT - EXHIBITION
DESCRIPTION:Mannheim artist Dietmar Brixy is opening the doors of the “Altes Pumpwerk” in Mannheim-Neckarau again this year for his exhibition “REFLECT”. From 24 September to 17 October\, he invites art lovers to a tour of his artist’s residence and presents compositions from his new series “REFLECT” as well as selected works from earlier phases in the interior and exterior spaces of the industrial monument. In cooperation with the Galerie Tammen from Berlin\, the exhibition is complemented by sculptures by guest artist  Sonja Edle von Hoeßle. The spacious presentation areas offer visitors the opportunity to keep the proper minimum distance. \n  \nThe current series is entitled REFLECT\n  \nDietmar Brixy’s new series of works bears the meaningful name REFLECT. In English as in German\, this means “radiate”\, “reflect” and implies not only the purely optical\, physical process but also a reflection of thoughts and feelings. At first\, however\, the radiance of the colours that make Brixy’s pictures shine so incomparably dominates. Red in particular dominates the scenery\, as a natural signal colour that embodies sensuality and joie de vivre like no other. Now\, in 2021\, the red may also signal a new energy and a regained optimism. \n  \nMore defensive colours such as blue\, grey and delicate pastel shades take a back seat\, almost shyly\, and noticeably cool the temperature of the whole picture. They play silently and quietly in the space that opens up behind the always somewhat loud red. Like a theatre curtain\, the red sets the stage for an almost illusionistic deep space\, as we have known it in painting since the Renaissance. Other elements and effects of classical painting can also be discerned\, central and aerial perspective suggesting distant landscapes. Of course\, Brixy does not paint one\, but our imagination recognises natural horizons\, mountain ranges or shorelines behind his horizontal pictorial elements. \n  \nWhile the red is generally applied very strongly and impasto\, standing at the ramp like an opera diva in velvet and heavy damask\, the passages behind appear in a gossamer robe of silk; here the oil paint has been spread with a palette knife to form delicate colour gradients. Here again our imagination sees a natural phenomenon\, reflections in the water\, as we have known them in painting since the Impressionists. The Venice paintings by Claude Monet\, for example\, are famous\, where the façades of the palaces are reflected as a play of colours in the Grand Canal. But in Brixy’s work it is not real things\, it is the artist’s own colours that are reflected immanently\, in the picture itself\, and thus quite literally redeem the title of the new series. \n  \n \nReflect\, 2021\, oil on canvas\, 180 x 140 cm\n  \n  \nExhibition in Mannheim shows works by Sonja Edle von Hoeßle\n  \nComplementing his own painterly compositions\, Dietmar Brixy\, in cooperation with the Tammen Gallery from Berlin\, presents sculptures by the sculptor Sonja Edle von Hoeßle in the interior and exterior spaces of his artist residence. Her “endless loops” of Corten steel\, some of which are large in size\, are welded together without beginning or end points and conquer the space with expansive gestures. Static and movement as well as openness and closure characterise her work\, which finds its characteristic formulations in the alternation of straight and curved sections. Sonja Edle von Hoeßle combines moments of tension and relaxation\, of calm and powerful dynamics. Her sculptures stand as synonyms for the eternal cycle of life and all natural processes. It is precisely here that the points of contact with Dietmar Brixy’s paintings reveal themselves. In their compositions\, both artists play with the sharpened perception of the viewer and always stage new\, surprising perspectives. They open up unexpected views and vistas\, enable a new perception of the surrounding world and formulate the unmistakable request – “REFLECT”! \n  \n \nGoldedition Loop 34 \, 2015\, 30 x 52 x 31 cm\n  \nWhat: \nExhibition „REFLECT“ from artist Dietmar Brixy. \nSpecial Guest Galerie Tammen\, Berlin with Sonja Edle von Hoeßle – Sculptures. \n  \nWhere: \nAltes Pumpwerk Mannheim-Neckarau\, Aufeldstraße 19\, 68199 Mannheim \n  \nWhen: \n24.

SUMMARY:Art on a building
DESCRIPTION:Fire. Water. Earth. Air. | Art on a building\n  \nAn art installation by the artist Dietmar Brixy in the New Main Fire Station of the City of Mannheim. Twelve tondi made especially for the entrance hall of the new main fire station in Mannheim\, each bearing an Olympic god’s name\, bubble up a wall and symbolise the origin of all being. \n  \n  \nOnce the fire brigade was solely committed to fire protection\, today it has many other tasks that can be summarised under the term disaster control. Not only fire\, but also water\, earth and air can unleash themselves as forces of nature and threaten people. These four elements are the theme of the large series of paintings that the Mannheim painter Dietmar Brixy has created especially for the entrance hall of the new fire station. In doing so\, the artist reflects on the doctrine of the four elements\, which was conceived by the ancient Greeks as a kind of natural philosophy. The philosopher Empedocles saw in the four elements the fundamental manifestations of matter and assigned them to individual gods\, such as fire to Zeus\, the father of the gods\, and air to his wife Hera. \n  \n  \nDietmar Brixy has selected twelve gods and assigned them to his circular paintings.\n  \nThese now float like planets in the firmament and represent the Olympic heaven of the gods. Some of the Greek gods were explicitly responsible for special forces of nature\, such as Poseidon for water and Demeter for the earth. Thus\, people once believed that when there were fires\, floods\, earthquakes or storms\, they had incurred the wrath of these special gods. Fortunately\, modern firefighters no longer believe in such animistic nature religions. \n  \nDem Feuer war auch Hephaistos\, der Gott der Schmiede\, zugeordnet\, während seine Ehefrau Aphrodite\, die Göttin der Liebe\, allenfalls für Liebesfeuer zuständig war\, ins-besondere wenn sie durch ihre Liebschaft zum Kriegsgott Ares\, den Zorn des Ehemanns schürte. Für das friedliche Herdfeuer zu Hause war die Göttin Hestia verantwortlich. Hausbrände sind bis heute eine der wichtigsten Gründe\, die Feuerwehr zu rufen\, aber auch Waldbrände (Artemis) oder Kriegsschäden (Ares\, Athene) bis hin zu großen Verkehrsunfällen (Hermes). Mittendrin schwebt Apollon\, der Lichtgott\, der die Menschen vor Unheil bewahrt und sie mit der Kunst wieder versöhnt. \n  \n  \nThe series was created from 2006 onwards and is a reminder of the great snow load of this winter\n  \nHephaistos\, the god of the forge\, was also assigned to fire\, while his wife Aphrodite\, the goddess of love\, was responsible for love fires at best\, especially when she stirred up her husband’s anger through her love for the war god Ares. The goddess Hestia was responsible for the peaceful hearth fire at home. House fires are still one of the most important reasons for calling the fire brigade\, but also forest fires (Artemis) or damage caused by war (Ares\, Athena) and even major traffic accidents (Hermes).

SUMMARY:Creation - Artwork by artist Dietmar Brixy
DESCRIPTION:Dietmar Brixy’s new series of works bears the meaningful name REFLECT. It refers to the radiance of the colours that make Brixy’s paintings shine so incomparably. Red dominates the series\, as a signal colour that embodies sensuality and joie de vivre like no other. In 2021\, red may also stand for new energy and optimism. More defensive colours like blue\, grey and delicate pastel shades take a back seat\, cool the temperature and play on the space that opens up behind the red. Like a theatre curtain\, the red sets the stage for an almost illusionistic deep space\, as we have known it since the Renaissance.

SUMMARY:Museum Blue
DESCRIPTION:Museum Blue: Artist Dietmar Brixy donates money\n  \nSchwetzinger Tageszeitung\, 12.6.2021\, Text by Lukas Heylmann\, Link to the text of the Schwetzinger Tageszeitung \n  \nDietmar Schuth and Dietmar Brixy have a lot in common\, not only their first names and year of birth. The two have known each other for a long time and have also cooperated for many years. Their greatest commonality\, however\, is without doubt that they have both dedicated their lives to art. So it is no surprise that Dietmar Brixy decided to make a monetary donation of 1500 euros to the Museum Blau\, which his friend runs and founded in Schwetzingen. “Commitment is very important to me\,” the artist explains. “For example\, I have already donated to the Diakonissen Hospital in Mannheim. But there are limits somewhere and that’s why I like to orientate myself in the region.” \n  \nAlthough his art takes him to other parts of the world\, the artist still lives and works in his native city of Mannheim. Schwetzingen is of course only a stone’s throw away. A few years ago\, the Schwetzingen Art Association organised an exhibition entitled “Animal Art” in the Orangery of the castle. A Brixy painting was also part of it. “Actually\, he only marginally fitted in there with his abstract style\,” amuses Schuth. “But the hippo painting that we then exhibited was more realistic. It’s unusual for him\, but it fit very well into the exhibition.” And here we find another bridge: for the hippo in question now hangs in the Museum Blau. The two friends are somewhat at odds about exactly how it all went down\, “but then we are already over 60\,” says Brixy with a laugh. \n  \n \nArtist Dietmar Brixy and Museum Director Dr. Dietmar Schuth\n  \nLonger opening hours possible\n  \nHis donation now serves a concrete purpose at the museum: extending the opening hours. Until now\, the Museum Blau could open its doors to the public on Saturdays\, Sundays and public holidays from 2 to 6 pm. From now on\, it will go four hours earlier on Sundays. “I hire pupils and students\, especially here from Schwetzingen\, as temporary help and I want to be able to pay them\,” explains Schuth. Thanks to the donation\, this is now possible for the time being\, but of course sponsors are always being sought. Then further extensions would be possible. Because extended opening hours\, especially on Sundays\, offer families with children in particular the opportunity to visit the Museum Blau. “The museum is definitely child-friendly and there are amusements where children can have fun and learn something at the same time\,” explains the museum founder. It is all the better that the relaxed Corona rules now allow guided tours in the museum again. Although the space in the rooms is limited\, Dietmar Schuth is nevertheless always in the process of rearranging the exhibition. Dietmar Brixy and his husband David Richardson also agree that a single visit is hardly enough to take in everything. \n  \nIn general\, the two are personally very fond of the museum\, which is always apparent when they are on site. Richardson repeatedly points out parts of the art on display\, especially pieces that Schuth himself created. “We like Dietmar’s commitment. It’s tangible and not just theory. You have to appreciate that and that’s why we like to advertise it\,” Brixy adds. The fact that a monetary donation is welcome right now is of course also related to the pandemic. “We had losses due to Corona\, that has to be said clearly. Culture was not treated particularly well during this time and that certainly annoyed us all\,” criticises Dietmar Schuth. \n  \nHe doesn’t necessarily mean the city: “Schwetzingen has a lot of culture that is done through associations. But the city has helped the freelancers\, I think that’s very decent.” \n  \n  \nFigs for the kitchen\n  \nOn the occasion of his visit to the museum\, Brixy also brought his namesake two paintings\, one of which he can choose for the Museum Blau. The choice fell on a fig motif\, which from now on will be exhibited in the kitchen room of the museum\, which is all about blue food. Previously\, Brixy had left plants: “It doesn’t always have to be something big.” If it is possible\, the collaboration should continue\, they agree.

SUMMARY:Christian Marx Gallery - Düsseldorf
DESCRIPTION:Located 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 \nGallery owner Christian Marx\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. \nDiscover\, Surprise\, Horizon………..Happy!!!!!!!! \n\n  \n \nExhibition view Christian Marx Gallery\n  \nBRIXY & CHRISTIAN MARX GALLERY\nExhibitions extract: \n\nart KARLSRUHE selection @ Christian Marx Galerie\, Düsseldorf (GS)\, 2021\nChristian Marx Galerie\, Düsseldorf\, „Happy Discover(y)“ (OAS virtuell)\, 2020\nart KARLSRUHE with Christian Marx Galerie\, Düsseldorf (GS)\, 2019\nChristian Marx Galerie\, Düsseldorf „Brixy – Horizon“ (OAS)\, 2018\nart KARLSRUHE with Christian Marx Galerie\, Düsseldorf (GS)\, 2017\nChristian Marx Galerie\, Düsseldorf\, „Grand Opening“ in „stilwerk“ (GS)\, 2016\nChristian Marx Galerie\, Düsseldorf\, „Discover.

SUMMARY:Nature and Art
DESCRIPTION:Dietmar Brixy blooms in many gardens\n  \nTen years ago a very special flower saw the light of day. \nIts name: Dietmar Brixy. \n  \nThe flower is a special cultivar of the genus “Iris”\, which the artist chose himself ten years ago as a birthday present. The flower reflects his own colour world in the most amazing way. It is as colourful and vivid as his paintings themselves. \n  \nIn his art\, Brixy challenges the viewer to look closely. He opens the view to details and thus creates the fascination of discovery. In art\, it is often the small inconspicuous elements that make the difference. In nature it is no different. The impressive big whole is created by a complicated interplay of colours and shapes. In the same way\, art and nature influence each other\, intertwine and let their complex magic work on us. In this way they manage to delight us again and again with their fascinating details. \n  \n  \nArt and nature influence each other\nThe fact that nature is a constant source of inspiration for Brixy is obvious even at a fleeting glance at his pictures. Blossoms\, leaves and organic structures sometimes adorn the scene in gentle ornamentation\, sometimes they dominate a section of the picture. Nature is omnipresent in his art and finds its way into his opulent world of colours and forms in manifold abstractions. \n  \nThis is why Brixy has created such a world around him – in his own lovingly designed garden at the Altes Pumpwerk in Mannheim-Neckarau. The gardening work is almost as important to him as the art itself. In harmony with himself\, nature and his art\, he always finds new inspiration and creativity for his powerful works. \n  \n»I want the viewer to feel the effect that the garden right on my doorstep has on me. I want the viewer to recognize the presence of great things in little things. That my art seeks to capture the wonders of nature by looking\, for example\, at a single blossom.«\n  \nThis enthusiasm can be felt not only when looking at his paintings\, but also in every sentence he says about nature and his garden. This deep connection with the plant world and the simultaneous reverence for it also inspired Brixy’s partner David Richardson to make a very special gift: a special iris strain called Dietmar Brixy. \n  \n  \n  \nA gift was the trigger for the breeding\nIt was a very special gift for the artist’s 50th birthday\, he claimes\, the most beautiful one he had ever received. Together with his partner he went to France to visit the iris breeder Cayeux. Since the 19th century\, the name has been synonymous with several generations of traditional breeding and has repeatedly produced award-winning novelties. \n  \nWhen Dietmar Brixy and David Richardson arrived\, the time had come once again. A total of seven new iris species were waiting to find a name giver. And Brixy had the great honour of choosing one of the flowers\, which from now on will be known as “Dietmar Brixy”. They went out into the field with the filigree plants and inspected the magnificent iris flowers. A difficult decision awaited the artist\, which flower was it to be? Suddenly the eye fell on a very special specimen – white cathedral leaves towered high\, enthroned above a bed of violet hanging leaves with bronze-coloured lines. The colouring was so virtuos that one immediately thought of a picture composition by Brixy – the choice was made. \n  \n  \nThe iris adorns numerous gardens\nSince then\, the “Dietmar Brixy”-Iris has been decorating not only his own garden\, but also numerous gardens of grateful customers. For several years now\, Brixy has been giving away rhizomes of his iris to plant fans who enthusiastically raise them in their gardens. So it happens that every year numerous photos reach the artist showing flowering “Dietmar Brixy” irises. \n  \nThis year again\, countless pictures have arrived. Especially in such difficult times of social distance and initial restrictions Brixy is happy about every single flower. The irises have been planted in the past years and now in bloom they give people a smile. Brixy is thrilled by so much feedback that he regularly receives and that he was able to make people happy with such a small yet valuable gift! \n  \nHere you can see a selection of various photo impressions of the flowering “Dietmar Brixy” irises from recent years\, submitted by numerous plant fans.

SUMMARY:Barbara von Stechow Gallery - Frankfurt am Main
DESCRIPTION:Located in Frankfurt’s Westend\, Galerie Barbara von Stechow is a gallery for contemporary art. The promotion of contemporary talent\, both young and established\, from German-speaking countries as well as an intensive engagement with the work of renowned American artists form the focal points of the gallery’s programme. Through regular participation in various art fairs in Germany and abroad\, the Barbara von Stechow Gallery has an international clientele and a wide range of contacts in the widespread international art scene. \n  \n  \nGallery history\n  \nFounded back in 1995\, the Barbara von Stechow Gallery is located in Frankfurt’s beautiful Westend district. The owner and gallery owner Barbara von Stechow grew up in New York and first studied business administration at the European Business School\, as well as art history and history at the Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main. Before Barbara von Stechow turned to her work as an independent gallery owner\, she was the successful managing director of the Galerie am Schweizer Platz. A short time later\, inspired by her father’s collecting activities\, she founded the Barbara von Stechow Gallery in Frankfurt’s Feldbergstraße. Since then\, the owner and gallery owner has been presenting and promoting internationally established artists as well as up-and-coming talents from the local art scene. Through changing exhibitions of various painting and sculpture positions in the generous gallery spaces\, as well as at various art fairs in Germany and abroad\, such as in Karlsruhe\, Zurich and Miami\, the gallery makes statements in terms of representational and abstract contemporary art. \n\n  \n  \nAbout the gallery owner Barbara von Stechow\n  \nBarbara von Stechow’s passion is to bring people together\, to inspire them with contemporary painting\, sculpture and photography and to introduce them to the subject of art. The mother of four sons and partner of the operator of the Hattenheim Kronenschlößchen\, Hans Burkhardt Ullrich\, has been a member of the board of the State Association of Galleries in Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate since 2002 and President of the Union International Club since 2014. \n  \n\n \nGallery owner Barbara von Stechow\n\n  \nVision of the gallery\n  \nWith the opening of her gallery\, Barbara von Stechow pursued the goal of promoting both young and established contemporary talents from German-speaking countries\, in addition to already renowned American artists. In doing so\, the Frankfurt-based gallery owner always focuses on graduates of the surrounding art academies\, such as the Städelschule and the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach. The focal points of the monthly changing gallery programme are the exclusive representation of renowned American artists in the European region\, such as Joe Stefanelli and Hunt Slonem\, in combination with emerging artists from Germany\, such as Dietmar Brixy. \n\n  \n  \nThis is what gallery owner Barbara von Stechow says about Brixy\n  \nBorn in Mannheim in 1961\, Dietmar Brixy studied painting and sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe from 1985 to 1991. As an established and recognised artist\, he has long been an integral part of the national and international art scene and can be seen at fairs and in galleries all over the world. \n  \nIt is the inexhaustible spectrum of colours that the artist brings to bear in his works and thus always creates new impressions and associations. Using the so-called drip method\, the paint is sprayed or dribbled onto the canvas on an initially black primed picture surface. Brixy takes the symbioses of colour and form produced by chance as the starting point for the visualisation of his increasingly clear ideas. \n  \nLayer by layer and always in direct contact with his work\, he applies the paint paste-like with his hands\, brush or palette knife and thus slowly creates a connection between the already created pictorial elements. Not infrequently\, organic and even floral forms can be discerned. He creates these\, among other things\, by imprinting leaves and blossoms\, thus setting a clear accent to his otherwise very dynamic and flowing way of working. The structures\, which are not only strongly emphasised in colour\, but also the sculpturally and haptically striking motifs\, thus speak to the viewer through the medium of the picture. The expressive colour language of the paintings emphasises the softly flowing lines in detail and unintentionally allows them to become the compositional structure of the picture. \n  \n \n  \nArtist Dietmar Brixy and gallery owner Barbara von Stechow\n  \nBRIXY & THE GALLERY BARBARA VON STECHOW\nExhibitions:\n\nArt Miami\, USA with Barbara von Stechow Gallery\, Frankfurt (GS)\, 2021 (planned)\nBarbara von Stechow Gallery\, Frankfurt am Main\, „Splashing Colours“ (OAS)\, 2020\nDiscovery Art Fair Frankfurt with Barbara von Stechow Gallery\, Frankfurt (GS)\, 2019\n\nHere you get an overview of all exhibition activities of Brixy since 2009\n  \n  \nSee the Gallery Tour of the exhibition “Splashing Colours” here.\n

This catalog as well as a video of the complete exhibition can be viewed online on the website of Tammen Gallery from February 7. \nThe participating artists in the exhibition are: \nCHRISTIAN BARHO – HOLGER BIERMANN – DIETMAR BRIXY – MORITZ GÖTZE – SAM GRIGORIAN – HEIKE JESCHONNEK – JINY LAN – VOLKER LEYENDECKER – ELLEN MÄDER-GUTZ – SABINE OSTERMANN – ANDREAS THEURER – UWE WOHLMACHER \n  \n  \nWhat does the artist Brixy present?\n  \nAt the exhibition LANDSCAPE I the artist Brixy will be present with his round paintings\, the so-called Bamboo Bubbles. A late onset of winter in March 2006 leads to the variation of the bamboo theme. The otherwise steeply rising shoots of the plants bend under the heavy snow load in a semicircle to the ground. The painter reflects this twice: in the painted circular forms as well as in the format of the round picture\, the tondo. \nBrixy’s “Bamboo Bubbles”\, a multifaceted cosmos in which everything revolves around growth energy and flexibility\, is created. \n  \n \nGallery owner Werner Tammen in front of Bamboo Bubbles Installation\nBamboo Bubbles\, 2020\, oil on canvas\, diverse formats\n\n\n  \nThis is what the art historian Dr. Dorothée Bauerle-Willert says about the circular paintings of the artist Brixy\n  \nUnconventional and free\, Dietmar Brixy’s iridescent tondos take up the growth energies of nature\, its rondo; in a spiral movement from one to the other\, the art forms of nature are transferred into nature forms of art. The circular paintings thus reflect and play out the “dialectic of nature and counter-nature\,” of figuration and abstraction. The elastic lines of color intertwine\, intertwine\, form – almost as if by themselves – inward growths\, open vistas. View of nature is transformed into an artificial structure\, but in such a way that the process transformation\, which includes before and after\, remains vivid. The principle of sequence\, grouping\, and repetition employed in the Bamboo Bubbles series refers on the one hand to natural growth processes\, but on the other hand – and almost in paradox – incorporates formal strategies of serial art. \n  \n(Source: Catalog for the exhibition LANDSCHAFT I of the Tammen Gallery\, 2021) \n  \nExhibition title: LANDSCAPE I \nForm: Group exhibition \nDate: 07.02. – 05.04.2021 \nAppointments: info@galerie-tammen.de | Tel.: +49 (0)175 206 1942 | Doodle-Link  \n  \nHERE YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT THE GALLERY TAMMEN – GALLERY PORTRAIT

SUMMARY:Tammen Gallery\, Berlin
DESCRIPTION:Tammen Gallery is a contemporary art gallery located in Berlin. The gallery represents and presents renowned artists in an extensive exhibition program in the fields of painting\, sculpture & photography. It is present at international and national exhibition venues. As a gallery it is active in the professional associations BVDG (Federal Association of German Galleries) and LVBG (Berlin Galleries Association). The gallery owner Werner Tammen is chairman of the Landesverband Berliner Galerien and member of the advisory board of the art fair art KARLSRUHE. \n  \n  \nHistory of the Tammen Gallery\n  \nGallery Tammen exists for more than 40 years. The gallery was founded in 1979 as Galerie am Chamissoplatz. It acquired cult status for its primary profile as a gallery for satirical media\, comics\, caricature and cartoon in the 80s. After reunification in 1990\, it expanded into the Tammen & Busch Gallery in the Kreuzberg neighborhood on Fidicinstrasse. In 2006\, a move to larger premises took place in the immediate vicinity of Checkpoint-Charlie. In 2010\, the gallery moved to ideal premises on the corner of Friedrichstraße and Hedemannstraße. This is still located in Berlin-Kreuzberg\, not far from Checkpoint-Charlie. \n  \n \nGallery owner Werner Tammen\n\n\n  \n  \nThis is what gallery owner Werner Tammen says about Brixy\n  \nWerner Tammen tells about the works and the long lasting cooperation of the gallery Tammen and the artist Dietmar Brixy \n  \nThe artist Dietmar Brixy I know and represent for many years. Addressed by him at the time\, I visited him\, in Mannheim in his extraordinary refuge “Altes Pumpwerk Mannheim-Neckarau“. A very special place of which in the meantime\, I believe\, thousands are also fascinated\, if you visit it on the occasion of annual exhibitions. It is a refuge with designed nature – outside\, quasi a natural garden\, and a culturally sensitive redeveloped industrial monument – inside. \nIt has been built up over the last 20 years by him and his life partner David Richardson and successively made known to the public. The place itself is an industrial monument. Many are fascinated by the works of the artist Dietmar Brixy. Among them is the former director of the Kunsthalle Mannheim and current president of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar\, Dr. Ulrike Lorenz. She made it clear in a text for a large catalog by Brixy: “Place determines painting\, painting animates place.” That sums it up very well. \n  \nFrom an insider tip to a must-attend event every year\n  \nBrixy and his staff have always understood\, also through large annual actions in late summer\, to make the house public and to give guest artists of the gallery Tammen\, mainly sculptors\, the chance to present themselves there together with him\, to a large and broad audience. This makes the place interesting again in a very special way. A development from an insider tip\, to a compulsory date in the year. A large number of guest artists on our part were already in the old pumping station. Be it the now increasingly well-known paper artist Marion Eichmann\, the artists Lothar Seruset and Andreas Theurer\, or recently this year\, the very interesting young artist Matthias Garff. With his very contemporary works\, he hits the nerve and creates quite a furor on the art market. \n  \nBrixy represented at international trade fairs\n  \nOur gallery has represented Brixy not only nationally but also internationally due to very good and loyal arrangements. We were at major fairs in Istanbul\, Budapest\, Miami and New York. And always important\, also the presence at the German art fair Art Karlsruhe\, where we have always presented him very predestined. Thus\, we have altogether also made clear how much we appreciate his painting! Personally\, I have always been fascinated by the fact that it is quite recognizable that he comes from sculpture. \nHe originally studied sculpture and later switched to painting. But I think you can see the sculptural signature in his work (he would also never deny it). Works that are very impasto applied oil paintings that always explore the theme of nature in a very intense way. He is inspired by foreign travel. Not only to our fair appearances. It also drives him to the Caribbean or on major international trips and always fascinated by these impressions he returns to his refuge\, closes the doors and deals exclusively in the form of his painting with the experienced and seen. \n  \n \n  \nGallery owner Werner Tammen and artist Dietmar Brixy\n\n  \n\nNew exhibition 2021 on the theme “Landscape”\n  \nWe are pleased that we can present Brixy after a busy and exciting Corona year\, right at the beginning of the year in the large exhibition on the theme of “Landscape” also here with us in the gallery. A topic\, which is of course also influenced by the Corona situation certainly and will increase. The view of it\, the perhaps new view of romance in the classical sense\, but also with completely new visual languages\, which we try to bring together here in an exhibition. \nBrixy will be present in the exhibition with his tondos. Round pictures he makes since 2006 and which is very strongly influenced by nature\, respectively by the representation and natural behavior of bamboo. Bamboo that sways under the weight of snow and takes on completely new forms. His garden is full of bamboo he has planted himself. It is therefore a direct vision that surrounds him every day. This has very much motivated and influenced him to create these circular paintings and appears again and again in his works. We are pleased that we can show here his works from the large two-meter formats to the small sensitive formats. Further appearances are then among other things already at the art fair art Karlsruhe\, which was postponed to Whitsun\, where we will also show him again in a beautiful duet with the sculptor Matthias Garff. \n  \nWe are looking forward to this further engagement with an artist who is increasingly coming into the public spotlight and is also increasingly being noticed internationally! \n  \n  \nBRIXY AND THE TAMMEN GALLERY\n  \nExhibitions Examples:\n\nPositions Berlin Art Fair with Galerie Tammen\, Berlin (GS)\, 2020\nart KARLSRUHE with Galerie Tammen & Partner\, Berlin (one artist show)\, 2019\nPositions Berlin Art Fair with Galerie Tammen & Partner\, Berlin\, 2018\nGalerie Tammen & Partner\, Berlin\, „Brixy Surprise & Tomorrow“ (one artist show)\, 2017\nCONTEXT New York.
