Dietmar Brixy's 'Wanderlust' Opens at Palazzo Bembo in Venice for Personal Structures 2026
At Palazzo Bembo, located along the Canal Grande in Venice, German artist Dietmar Brixy showcases 'Wanderlust' as part of the eighth edition of Personal Structures by the European Cultural Centre, coinciding with the Art and Architecture Biennales. The theme for 2026 is 'Confluences.' Brixy transforms the concept of travel from a focus on destinations to an exploration of the yearning for travel itself, depicting an inner journey marked by loss, disorientation, and reconciliation. His artwork employs diverse painting techniques to blend abstraction with figuration, featuring vertical canvases reminiscent of Japanese scrolls, an octagonal installation inspired by folding screens, and tondo shapes from 15th- and 16th-century European art, inviting viewers to reflect on the evolution of their journeys.
