Artist

Serge Brignoni

Serge Brignoni was a Swiss artist whose practice spanned abstraction, surrealism, and constructivism across multiple media including painting, sculpture, and printmaking. Active from the 1920s through the early 2000s, he maintained a deliberately experimental approach that resisted singular classification or stylistic fixity. His work engaged with geometric form, biomorphic abstraction, and materialist concerns throughout a career that extended well into his final decade.
