"Bright Morning, Pink Morning"

Concept

Patrick Piccinelli (1959) was born in Yverdon and lives in Autavaux. His pictorial works explore the visual dialogue between notions of structure and randomness in the search for a balance between minimalism and expressionism. He parasitizes with relish his minimal paintings. He is a graduate of the University Of Art And Design Lausanne, Switzerland( ECAL), a highly reputed art school, where he worked particularly with Jean Otth and Pierre Chevalley. His works have recently been acquired by collectors in the United States, Japan, Taïwan and Switzerland.

"I am a painter, color fascinates me. For me, the status of painter is a great privilege! From the beginning of my research, at the end of my studies, I considered that a successful painting must be like a joyful feast for the eyes of the viewer. My goal is unusual beauty, aesthetic astonishment. These elements persist through-out the years and are the foundation of my artistic work. However, the search for greater simplicity has evolved, in order to communicate in the most intense way with the fewest possible elements!

I am interested in the visual dialogue between the notions of structure and randomness. This particular field of expression is explored by contemporary jazzmen who improvise (the random) within a melody (the chromatic composition) and a rhythm (the geometric structure)."
