The artwork titled “Terril III,” created by Pierre Alechinsky in 2005, is situated within the Surrealism art movement and falls under the genre of abstract art.
The artwork features a prominent central motif resembling a mound or heap of intertwined lines and abstract shapes against a background of varying shades of blue. The intricate white and black lines within the central form appear chaotic yet deliberate, evoking a sense of organic movement and complexity. Surrounding this central figure is a rectangular border filled with fragmented, black and white drawings of various figures and forms, each contributing to the overall surreal and abstract nature of the piece. The juxtaposition of the central abstract shape with the detailed border creates a dynamic interplay, typical of Alechinsky’s unique approach to abstract and surrealist expression.
