Pierre Alechinsky : Original working drawing with handwritten notes and corrections , covered with a layer of tracing paper on which Alechinsky made special colourings with notes.
This unique working drawing concerns the project L'oie belge (The Belgian Snake Board ) from 1980.
Authentic working materials in which the artist's creative process is tangibly visible.
L'oie belge is a dynamic artwork created in 1980 by Pierre Alechinsky and Hugo Claus, two of Belgium's most celebrated post-war artists. It is a playful yet refined visual homage to the classic game of snakes and ladders.
The work reinterprets the traditional board game with a surrealist twist, combining historical Belgian documents in the background with colorful, expressive drawings by Alechinsky and poetic commentary by Claus.
This unique working drawing concerns squares 5 and 6 of this board game.
Each numbered square becomes a unique narrative fragment, populated by creatures, dice, moons, eyes, and claws—all drawn in Alechinsky's signature, fluid style. The vibrant interplay of text and image results in a conceptually and visually rich work that blurs the lines between play, poetry, and painting.
The work is expertly and stylishly framed, floating in a custom-made, acid-free mount, within an exclusive, handmade white wooden frame, finished with PLEXIGLAS® Optical HC, which is scratch-resistant and UV-resistant. This high-quality plexiglass offers deep, clear visibility and is significantly lighter than traditional glass.
Framed size: approx. 34 x 44 cm
