About this artwork
There is something particularly moving about waiting for dawn. The light can be guessed to finally gently invade the landscape. This passage from night to dawn fascinates Piccinelli as a visual artist.
The arrival of dawn is done in silence and sweetness. A new day is about to be born, for the painter it is a visual metaphor for the creation of a new work.
Each dawn offers new shades from blue to pink passing through orange or from blue to white… disturbed by the gray of the mist.
This work on Arches 300 gr/m2 paper is a triptych made with pigmented ink.
"In the increasingly clear air
still sparkles this tear
or low flame in glass
when the mountains sleep
rises a golden vapor
Remain thus suspended
on the balance of dawn
between the promised ember
and this lost pearl"
Philippe Jaccotet, "Airs", poems 1961-1964, in Fin d'hiver, no 5, Paris, Gallimard editions (1967)

« My research takes the direction of "parasitic" minimalism. I claim the expression of a rigorous geometric structure endangered by the soft and hazardous trace of the brush. »
Originally from the tranquil scenery of Switzerland, Patrick Piccinelli set forth on an enriching academic journey that took him to the distinguished corridors of ECAL (University of Art and Design, Lausanne, Switzerland), a stronghold of artistic brilliance on the global frontier. The respected tradition of flawless typography for which Switzerland is famed, coupled with the deep-seated influences of Swiss graphic design, known for its austere, minimalistic, and refined aesthetics, significantly guided Piccinelli’s artistic path. His palette is firmly rooted in geometric minimalism, a stylistic reverberation reminiscent of the illustrious “Zürich movement.” This era of artistic zeal was pioneered by notable figures such as Max Bill, Richard Paul Lohse, and Verena Loewenberg, luminaries who were the frontrunners of geometric or constructed artistry. His works have recently been acquired by collectors in the United States, Japan and Europe.
