About this artwork
This painting can be combined with one or more other paintings from the "New Wave" series.
Piccinelli was a student at ECAL (ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne) in the 80s. The sounds of groups like Cure, Depeche Mode and New Order echoed in the school's workshops.
This work on canvas is a way of revisiting this cultural and aesthetic movement.
The visual style of the New Wave movement was decidedly new and distinguished by the use of… bright, contrasting colors. The outfits were often eccentric and reflected a bold, avant-garde approach to fashion. Neon colors were particularly popular.
In addition to colors, geometric patterns were also characteristic. Checkerboard patterns, stripes, circles and other abstract shapes could be seen on clothing and accessories. The idea was to create a visual style that challenged the established fashion norms of the time.

« 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.
