Atelier
– Old Pumping Station, MANNHEIM NECKARAU –
The neo-Gothic brick building was designed by city architect Richard Perrey and built in 1903. The pumping station was closed in 1986 and left to ruin until 2001, when Brixy purchased the property and transformed it into his home and atelier.

Sommer im Pumpwerk summertime in the "Old Pumping Station"» This island 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, (…). The place determines the painting. The painting animates the place. «
