Shrimp and Salad (Crevette et salade) 1969

"Shrimp and Salad" (Crevette et salade) is a 1969 lithograph by the Belgian-born artist Pierre Alechinsky. Known for his abstract expressionist style, Alechinsky utilizes bold colors and gestural linework to create a dynamic composition. In this artwork, a central, white form resembling a shrimp or a piece of salad is framed by a vibrant orange rectangle. The edges of the artwork are then surrounded by intricate, swirling lines in shades of green. Alechinsky's use of vibrant colors, bold lines, and expressive forms are key elements of his style.
