Aluchromie panels by Ralph Cleeremans from the Rijks Administratief Centrum (ca. 1960). Aluchromie is a technique to fixate pigments on aluminium developed around 1961 by Ralph Cleeremans and Pierre Leloup. That same year, the “Group of Belgian Aluchromists” would be founded, including members such as Walter de Buck, Carlo Crivellaro, Octave Landuyt, and Serge Vandercam. With help of the engineers of BASF, the technique would be further refined. Their first joint work was a cube of 4 meters, to be exhibited on the Rogier square in Brussels. While the group never came to a joint artistic language other than sharing a technique, a manifesto was produced calling for a new form of beauty, coherent with the means of the time and allowing for an experience of the future.
