Around the Falls 1979

"Around the Falls" is a 1979 work by Belgian artist Pierre Alechinsky, known for his abstract expressionist style. The artwork features a central black ink drawing of a waterfall surrounded by a colorful border of vibrant abstract shapes and lines. This vibrant piece is indicative of Alechinsky's use of bold lines and spontaneous brushstrokes that often create a sense of movement and energy. His work is characterized by a lively mix of gestural abstraction and calligraphic elements, often exploring themes of nature and human emotion.
