Pierre Alechinsky is a Belgian artist born on October 19, 1927, in Brussels. He is renowned for his contributions to the CoBrA movement (Copenhagen, Brussels, Amsterdam), a post-World War II avant-garde art movement that emphasized spontaneity, experimentation, and the expression of raw emotion. Alechinsky's work often combines elements of painting, drawing, and printmaking, showcasing a dynamic and fluid style characterized by vibrant colors, playful imagery, and calligraphic brushwork.

His artworks often feature imaginative landscapes inhabited by fantastical creatures and symbols, inviting viewers to embark on journeys of visual and emotional discovery.
Over the years, Alechinsky's work has been exhibited extensively in galleries and museums worldwide, earning him international acclaim and recognition.

Pierre Alechinsky
Pierre Alechinsky is a belgian painter born in 1927 in Brussels. Attracted by painting, Pierre Alechinsky begins aged 17 in the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture et des Arts Décoratifs de la Cambre in Brussels. He was involved in the Cobra artistic movement with Karel Appel and Asger Jorn and organised exhibitions. In the early fifties, he learnt the art of engraving with Stanley William Hayter and also Japanese calligraphy. He met Giacometti, Bram Van Velde, and Victor Brauner. In 1955, he signs for his first exhibition at the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles, then at the Institute of Contemporary Arts of London. His artworks, prints, lithographies, engravings and books illustrations can also be found in the USA, in France, in the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany. On and after 1965, fascinated by the Oriental calligraphy, he uses acrylic painting, ink, different types of paper as bills, and gets carried away by action painting technique. During the eighties, he became for four years a teacher of plastic arts at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts. Also a writer, Pierre Alechinsky published many books including «Titres et pains perdus », « Baluchon et ricochets », and in 2004 «Des deux mains ». He lives and works in France.
