Xippas is pleased to announce that James Siena’s work Nighthouse (2001) has joined the Centre Pompidou collection.

Known for his intricate geometric patterns and precise linework, Siena’s work explores the relationship between structure and sensibility. Nighthouse stands as an embodiment of his distinctive style, combining elements of abstraction and mathematical precision to evoke a sense of tension and fluidity.
