About this artwork
A work inspired by the music of Stockhausen.
Stockhausen serializes everything: pitches, durations, timbres, intensities. The work is built on 126 sequences organized into a rigorous tableau, a mathematical architecture of absolute precision, in which the listener nevertheless perceives only movement, energy, life.
I proceed in the same way with geometry. The rectangles fit together according to strict proportions. The three pictorial parameters—color,… gesture, line—are distributed in space like the terms of a series: each appears only once in its pure form, but their interactions generate a richness that the rule alone could not have predicted. The vertical black line in the yellow is the accident that breaks the series—just as Stockhausen introduces breaks in tempo between orchestras.

« 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.
