“Aalborg,” created by Pierre Alechinsky in 1974, is a figurative artwork that belongs to the Neo-Expressionism art movement. It is part of the series “The Cities.”
The artwork features a central white section with a black sketch of a figure or abstract form surrounded by a larger colored oval frame. The outer frame, consisting of vibrant blue and green hues, presents a mix of abstract patterns and shapes. The bold, contrasting colors and intricate designs draw the viewer’s attention towards the center, creating a dynamic visual experience. The mixture of lines and forms within the green and blue portions further emphasizes the expressive nature of the piece, characteristic of Alechinsky’s work within the Neo-Expressionism movement. The overall composition and intense use of color speak to the artist’s unique approach to capturing the essence of a location, reflective of the artwork’s place within “The Cities” series.
