Biography: Born: 1927. Pierre Alechinsky was born in 1927 in Brussels, Belgium. As a young man, Alechinsky became a member of the CoBrA, an experimental group that included the Dutch artists Karel Appel and Asger Jorn. They sought an art that would express basic or primeval desires, of direct expression unguided by the intellect. Rather than working with a Freudian attitude learned from the Surrealists, these painters worked in a tradition of Nordic mythology and northern Expressionism. Strongly emotional, anti-traditional and anti-aesthetic, Alechinsky's canvases are spontaneously covered with rhythms of thick paint and heavy colors.Alechinsky paints, and also writes, in Bougival near Paris, where Georges Bizet died and Turgenev survived, and he resides on a street named for the French author Henri Barbusse. He introduced the formal innovations for which he is perhaps best known - surrounding an image with a drawn or painted frame upon which he makes anecdotal sketches, as one would make marginal notes in a book. At the same time he began using acrylics on paper, a combination he favored for its fluidity and quickness to dry.
