Alechinsky)
You don't see Alechinsky's work in the UK very often (though the Tate has eight of his works). I stumbled on his work at a show in the maritime museum in Paris about 20 years ago and immediately related to the way he breaks up the space into smaller spaces, using borders or "thumbnails". The shapes seem to be impetuous, immediate, impatient jottings; the colours can be wild. The output is prolific.

I really like this work- it reminds me a little of postage stamps a stack of them on an envelope- it always made me think of far away places and so does this work. Something that has been lost with our present day postage printed labels and of course the internet.
