Creation - Artwork by artist Dietmar Brixy

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.

Insights into the art of Dietmar Brixy

In a short report for the Aida Gallery, the renowned artist Dietmar Brixy from Mannheim explains the development of his pictures. They reflect the combination of an expressive, informal application of paint with realistic moments. In his paintings he models the color. The paintings live from a very strong surface relief and reveal his proximity to sculpture. This addition of stylistic possibilities makes Brixy unmistakable with his art!
