Georges Collignon was born in Liège in 1923 and dies in this city in February 2002. In 1950 at the age of 27, he obtained alongside Alechinsky the prestigious award, Prix de la Jeune Peinture Belge. The same year he exhibited in Les Mains Eblouiés at Galerie Maeght in Paris, which formed a group of radical young artists represented by Alechinsky, Corneille and Doucet who shared Collignon’s ideals. They became known as the COBRA group. With Pol Bury, Georges Collignon creates the “Réalité Cobra” group, the first Belgian platform for abstract arts. Georges Collignon’s work can be found in a number of public collections.
