Presentation
Born in Brussels in 1927, Pierre Alechinsky is a renowned Belgian artist known for his dynamic, calligraphic style and his influential role in the Cobra movement.
In 2024 and 2025, Pierre Alechinsky's work continues to be celebrated through notable exhibitions:
"Alechinsky, Pinceau Voyageur" at Fondation Boghossian, Brussels (October 19, 2024 – March 16, 2025): This exhibition delves into Alechinsky's lifelong fascination with Japanese calligraphy and his collaborations with poets like Henri Michaux and Christian Dotremont. It showcases his journey and the evolution of his artistic expression.
"Ne fêter ni l’an ni la vitesse" at Galerie Lelong & Co., Paris (January 16 – March 8, 2025): Centered around a significant lithograph created nearly three decades ago, this exhibition features a collection of Alechinsky's prints. The showcased lithograph exemplifies his signature style, presenting a dynamic central image surrounded by smaller, detailed vignettes.
From 1944 to 1948, Alechinsky studied typography, photography, and printmaking at the École nationale supérieure d'architecture et des arts décoratifs de la Cambre in Brussels. During this time, he discovered the works of Michaux, of Dubuffet, and of the Surrealists, which greatly influenced his artistic development. In 1947, he held his first solo exhibition, marking the beginning of a prolific career.
In 1949, Alechinsky joined the avant-garde Cobra movement , founded by artists Christian Dotremont, Asger Jorn, and Karel Appel. The movement embraced spontaneity, expressive gestures, and a rejection of formal abstraction, principles that remained central to Alechinsky's work. Even after Cobra dissolved, he continued to uphold its spirit, famously stating, "Cobra is my school."
Moving to Paris, he trained as an engraver at Atelier 17 under Stanley William Hayter and developed friendships with key figures like Alberto Giacometti, Bram van Velde, and Walasse Ting. During this period, he also explored Japanese calligraphy, drawn to its fluid spontaneity, and traveled to Kyoto, where he created a documentary on traditional Japanese art.
In the 1960s, Alechinsky made frequent visits to New York, where he embraced acrylic painting, introduced to him by Walasse Ting. This technique enabled him to develop his signature "paintings with notes in the margins", inspired by comic book layouts. His most famous work, "Central Park" (1965), exemplifies this approach, blending bold gestures with intricate visual storytelling.
Beyond painting, Alechinsky was passionate about literature and book illustration, collaborating with writers like Emil Cioran, Michel Butor, Yves Bonnefoy, and André Frénaud. His works have been showcased in major international exhibitions and retrospectives, cementing his status as a leading contemporary artist.
In 1983, Alechinsky became a professor of painting at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His artistic legacy spans diverse media, including large-scale public commissions such as works for the Palais Bourbon and the French Ministry of Finance. Today, his paintings and prints are held in prestigious collections worldwide.
Pierre Alechinsky continues to live and work in Bougival, France, where he remains an enduring force in contemporary art.
