Circletude (Cerclitude) from the portfolio Pencil on Shell 1971

"Circletude (Cerclitude)" is a 1971 lithograph by Belgian artist Pierre Alechinsky. The work is characteristic of Alechinsky's abstract expressionist style, with its vibrant colors, gestural lines, and free-flowing forms. The piece evokes a sense of energy and movement, as if the lines are dancing across the page. The use of bold colors, particularly reds and blues, adds to the dynamism of the composition. The piece also showcases Alechinsky's interest in the interplay between chance and control, as the artist allows for spontaneous markings while maintaining a sense of overall structure. This work is a fine example of Alechinsky's unique and captivating style.
