About Al'Jotte Pie (Tarte Al'Jotte) from the portfolio Pencil on Shell

The artwork titled “Al’Jotte Pie (Tarte Al’Jotte)” is a part of the “Pencil on Shell” portfolio created by Pierre Alechinsky in the year 1971. This artwork, a reflection of the Surrealism movement, belongs to the abstract genre and forms a segment within the “Pencil on Shell” series.

The artwork is characterized by its intricate and abstract composition. The central motif appears to be a circular form filled with swirling, organic shapes, evoking a sense of perpetual motion and energy. Surrounding this central element is a border adorned with colorful dots, adding contrast and rhythm to the composition. The use of varied hues—greens, yellows, and reds—creates a vibrant and somewhat enigmatic visual experience. Below the circular form, additional abstract elements appear in a smaller compartment, maintaining the complexity and depth of the piece. The interplay of colors and forms encapsulates the surrealistic essence of Alechinsky’s work, illustrating a balance between chaos and order.
