André Pierret
Abstract Expressionist Biomorphic Coloured Pencil Drawing.

1980s

About the Item

1980s abstract expressionist biomorphic coloured pencil drawing on paper by Belgian artist André Pierret, signed bottom right. André Pierret was born in Schaerbeek in Belgium in 1928. He was not only a painter but also a draftsman and an engraver who studied at the Brussels Académie des Beaux Arts, La Cambre (E.N.S.A.A.D.), the local Brabant Institute and at the Ixelles School of Art where he taught from 1970 to 1990. In 1952 he won the F.Baes prize for painting, in 1969 the E. Bouillot prize and in 1979 the Charles Swyncop prize for the body of his work. His style began as impressionistic followed by a phase of cleaner portrait and landscape painting. Then in 1970 he passed through a period of expressionism leading him eventually to more metaphysical and surreal subjects painted with a dreamlike quality. From 1982 onwards he developed an abstract style which he called 'biomorphic' usually executed in acrylic or pastel. In 1983 and 1984 Pierret created four mural paintings in Ixelles (Brussels). He died in 1992 in Watermael-Boitsfort.

  • Scandinavian Danish Modernist Abstract Watercolour, Akvarel.
    Located in Cotignac, FR
    Scandinavian Modern abstract watercolour on paper by Hans Øllgaard. The work is signed in full and dated bottom left. There is an exhibition label to the back panel and a gallery stamp. The painting is presented in a modern silvered frame under glass with a cut card mount. A vivid and colourful painting full of energy and movement. Very distinctive of Øllgaard's abstract style in the 1930s and to which he returned in the 1960s. We can feel the influences of his friends and fellow artists Max Ernst, Jean Arp, Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Jean Miro, Piet Mondrian and Yves Tanguy. A striking and powerful work by an important artist of his day. Hans Øllgaard, knew early on that he wanted to be a painter. After graduating in 1929 he began his studies, but as he was too young to attend the Academy of Fine Arts he became a private pupil of Aksel Jørgensen, who also became his professor at the academy, where he began in 1933. Although he benefited greatly from teaching early on he developed his own distinctive style. Øllgaard quickly detached himself and sought connection with some of the first abstract Danish artists, Ejler Bille, Vilhelm Bjerke Petersen and Richard Mortensen...
