About this artwork
Inspired by the music of U2: "Indian Summer Sky"
There is a paper version that is similar to this painting.
Bono's song oscillates between suspended, almost contemplative moments and sudden bursts of energy. I translate this exactly: the large geometric planes (red, blue, orange, pink) are islands of formal calm, while the splashes and diagonally scratched grey lines embody the irruption of the living, the uncontrollable — the storm rumbling behind… a summer sky.
The black frames — memory and loss
The black rectangles superimposed on the colors suggest windows, framed memories sliding past one another. U2 builds this track on a bittersweet nostalgia: something beautiful is slipping away.
I paint what U2 composed: the violent beauty of a fleeting moment, between brilliant light and muted melancholy, between geometric order and organic splashes — an Indian summer sky, suspended just before the fall.

« 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.
