“Plate (folio 2) from Schismes,” created by Pierre Alechinsky in 1978, is a notable piece within the Neo-Expressionism art movement. This artwork is a part of the series titled “Schismes” and is characterized as figurative.
The artwork presents a vivid and expressive composition, dominated by bold lines and a rich palette of red and green hues. The central figure, abstract yet discernible, conveys a sense of intensity and emotion through its dynamic and somewhat chaotic form. The use of contrasting colors and textures enhances the dramatic effect, drawing the viewer into its intricate and layered design. Alechinsky’s distinctive style is evident in the fluid, almost calligraphic brushwork that adds depth and movement to the piece.
