Painterly primitive force from Denmark

The painter Pia brix-Thomsen is neither particularly Nordic by looks nor in her art.
She is like a gipsy- a citizen of the world, who with great passion becomes absorbed and paints vigorous sonorous
canvases, wish in between glow like fire. From the very beginning a painterly primitive force has flowed
from Pia`s work, from every single composition, living in close harmony with the dialog of light and colour. Pia
Brix-Thomsen`s work can be seen and experienced as pure paintings living their own lives as small independent
personalities with their own story.
They are also paintely stories about time here and now, the far too avanescent time that vanishes before we
can grasp the moment. Pia Brix-Thomsen embraces time with her art, which can very well take the spectator`s
breath away when the red colour of lifeblood asks the golden sun to dance. Or when colours meet in more
subdued intensety and let light live almost spiritually and religiously on the canvas, so breath taking and emotional
that the mind resorts to meditation and absorption. Experience the silence and joy of a painter, who by
colours can narrate from the land of light.
