AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pierre Alechinsky (born 1927, Brussels) is one of the most celebrated Belgian post-war artists and a key figure of the CoBrA movement. His work combines spontaneous, calligraphic linework with bold color and a fascination with Asian ink painting and folk art — features clearly present in this work.
Offered: "The Serpent", a color lithograph on paper, hand-signed bottom left and numbered 100/120. The composition shows Alechinsky's characteristic thick, winding ink line forming a serpent-shaped figure, framed by a colorful border of red, yellow and pink motifs on a field of manuscript paper — a typical Alechinsky procedure where he uses existing printed or written pages as the ground.
The work is nicely framed behind glass in a slim dark blue floater frame, ready to hang.
Dimensions: 56 x 78 cm (work/paper, excluding frame)
Signature & numbering: Hand-signed bottom left, numbered 100/120 (edition of 120)
