The artwork titled “Page of the universal atlas, IV. Turkey in Asia” is created by Pierre Alechinsky and falls under the art movements of Cartographic Art and Neo-Expressionism. The artwork possesses a figurative genre and is part of the series named “Universal Atlas”.
The artwork intricately overlays abstract, expressive black line drawings upon a detailed map of Turkey in Asia, invoking the style of both cartographic art and Neo-Expressionism. The lines appear to form abstract animal figures and forms, blending geographical precision with creative dynamism, and infusing the map with a vivid, often surreal life. The meticulous details of the original map contrast with the wild, flowing lines of Alechinsky’s drawings, creating an interesting juxtaposition and a multidimensional piece that invites viewers to explore the intersection of geography and artistic expression.
