Patrick Piccinelli as an abstract painter is not interested in the representation of an existing space. However; the title of the work (Brooklyn Subway Station) evokes a specific place. This painting from the "Walls" series refers to the traces left by generations of New Yorkers who have passed through the subway. These superimposed traces connect us to the past but also to the present. Some traces are half erased; others are recent and more precise. You have to stop to see these elements. Piccinelli believes that a painter is a person who takes the time to contemplate the world in order to restore it on canvas. And the traces of human beings on the walls of the New York subway are important and are part of what fascinates him in this world.
