"Until I'm thirty, whenever I can, I'll escape from painting. You run away. Nothing prepares the painter for solitude. He did his apprenticeship surrounded by comrades. But one day, he'll have to go into a cell," stated Pierre Alechinsky in Peintures et écrits (Yves Rivière publisher, 1977).
His entire work, a universe of constructed, glued, assembled papers, of old papers deafening with an outdated topicality, passes from image to text in the same ink. His entire vocabulary comes from this nocturnal ocean. And with a stroke, a stain, a flow, the artist says who he is, where he comes from and where, inevitably, our gaze will lead us beyond his inky night.
Drawing on the important corpus of drawings donated by the artist to the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium between 1973 and 2021, Carta canta, which accompanies the eponymous exhibition, reveals all the originality of Pierre Alechinsky's work on paper, from the first engravings to his most recent inks and acrylics. An unalterable energy which, since 1948, has truly made the paper sing.
