Work on paper; painting on Arches paper: 26X26 cm; glued on Fabriano paper 250gr/m2 in format 50X50 cm.MIlan is the Italian city close to the region where Patrick Piccinelli comes from; these are his Italian roots (even if he has lived all his life in Switzerland). The chromatic composition evokes the Italian flag.For Piccinelli; the swimming pool represents a metaphor linked to his visual research. He is passionate about creating a visual dialogue between a rigorous and minimal geometric structure with random expressionist elements. The pool is a precise colored shape (often a blue rectangle). The reading of this rectangle is disturbed by the undulations of the water or a dive generating waves and splashes.
