On 6 June 2025, DIE GALERIE will ring in the summer with an exhibition that is diverse, colourful, spontaneous and a little loud. This is how CoBrA, the mid-20th century artists' group, was - young, wild, immediate and impulsive. Although the group quickly disbanded and its members went on to important international careers, CoBrA's ideas were enduring and groundbreaking. Many of the artists remained friends and collaborators for decades.

Based on personal friendships and connections, DIE GALERIE has long been committed to the artists of the CoBrA group. To this day, there is a particularly strong bond between gallery owner Peter Femfert and Pierre Alechinsky, one of the most influential networkers of CoBrA and, at 97 years of age, the last living representative of this group. 
 
Born in Brussels in 1927, he became the youngest member of the CoBrA group in 1949, after studying book illustration and typography in his home town. As a young painter, Pierre Alechinsky embraced CoBrA's ideas of spontaneity and direct expression; after the group disbanded in 1951, he quickly developed his own style, concentrating on drawing and studying Asian calligraphy. He travelled to Japan for the first time in 1955. Since then, his work has oscillated between East Asian art and aesthetics and Western visual understanding... Read more in press release.
