Pierre Alechinsky remembers: "My first acrylic painting dates from 1965, I was painting on a sheet of paper in Walasse Ting's studio in New
York [...]", excerpt from Lettre Suit, 1992, p. 63.
The artist immediately perceived the possibilities that this new medium, which was as fluid as ink, brought to him. To channel the paint that spread freely over the entire surface, he conceived an interior frame, sometimes very discreet, as here.
The title participates in the poetics of the work. Under the blue wing, Pierre Alechinsky has given free rein to his imagination.
