Artist´s statement
Richard Brixel´s art is mostly dealing with questions of life as: dance, love, meetings, friendship, joy, power, oppression, liberation, death and what may come after.
To Brixel his art was a kind of metaphysical research, what is waiting around the corner and what might be expressed in sculpture and art; become real.
According to Brixel mystery exists; to him his art was a bearer, a medium for feelings, thoughts and knowledge.
Art is thus an allegory. Nobody really knows who the storyteller is neither now nor later. It is possible that in this life the true narrator will always remain unknown to us, or only imagined or guessed as in a sketch.
The classical training had taught Brixel that sketches are the bases, fundamental both with pen, brush and in clay work; sketching and modeling in a state of meditation.
It was a constant struggle with matter, but also the joy, and curiosity of finding the yet unknown.
Every detail was important.
Everything should be like his vision, nothing to be forgotten for the sake of the angels. Being a tool, as if something greater than yourself is leading the creation, is an experience Brixel often had.
As if time and space give place for something inexplicable, maybe the angels.

Brixelgården
At the shore of lake Hjälmaren, close to the city of Arboga, Richard Brixel built his home and studio with different galleries and a
 12,000 m² museum park.
Outside and inside many sculptures as well as paintings,
 drawings and lithographs meet the eyes and minds of the visitors.
Brixelgarden and museum offers an art and cultural experience with 
several dimensions; garden and seascape, nature and art.
In the park are full-scale models of some major public sculptures that 
Brixel has created over the years.
