Étienne Pixa - Rythms 1A.9.A - Large abstract painting

Rythms 1A.9.A
以动态、自发笔触驱动的具表现力的抽象作品。宽广的手势相互交错、重叠并溶解，创造出连续的运动感与张力。通过即兴与再创作的多层叠加而成，构图在密集与留白之间取得平衡。根植于抽象表现主义与行动绘画，这件作品保留手势的 raw immediacy（原始即时性），在控制与偶然之间寻求碰撞。

About the Artist

Étienne Pixa is a Franco-German artist based in Berlin. Classically trained in graphic arts and design, he also developed a photographic practice in his youth, sharpening his keen sense of observation and visual composition.

A self-taught painter since 2000 as well as a musician, his work revolves around improvisation and spontaneous mark-making. Navigating freely between abstraction and figuration, Pixa approaches the canvas as an open field of experimentation—embracing the unexpected, deconstructing, and reorganizing forms in pursuit of a dynamic balance.

Centering intuition and creative freedom, he offers open-ended visual narratives that invite viewers to engage with the artwork and project their own perceptions onto the canvas.

His practice explores the space between abstraction and figuration through gesture, movement and colour. Working primarily with acrylic paint, he combines spontaneous mark-making with layered compositions, drawing on the traditions of Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism and Action Painting.
