Ado Chale (real name Adolf Pelsener), born in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean (Brussels) in 1928, is a Belgian artist.

Ironworker training, he heads the advertising screen printing on enameled sheet metal in the 1950s.

Gemologist his wife, Huguette Schaal (Esch-sur-Alzette, 21/12/1929 - Brussels, 28/02/2011) opened in 1961 the gallery "Chale" Leghorn Street in Brussels.

The gallery then moved from 1965 to 1985 at 117 Avenue Louise (Brussels).

Soon, Huguette Chale itself as one of the influential figures in the decoration and art galleries in Brussels.

To his wife, he created with Koenraad sculptor, monumental office marcasite topped with a light bow with shade integrated steel strips in his legs in hammered iron.

The influence of Chale is such that it becomes unintentionally, the leader of a decorative power in Brussels will be worth it in the '70s, to be imitated; especially in the use of minerals such as decorative elements, or gold, as an ornamental color.

The 80's were the artist's consecration over again. He now lives separated from his wife, Huguette Chale. Retrospectives are organized. Belgium (Ixelles Museum, 1986), France (Museum of Fine Arts in Nancy, Palais des Papes in Avignon, 1987); to Japan, where the chain of department stores Seibu, which has its own museum of contemporary art, organized in November 1988 an exhibition intended to make known the riches of the Belgian expertise.

In the late 2000s, Ado Chale, having experienced the Creu wave due to a mode change, has renewed interest that will make him one of the best sides Belgians on the antiquities market; with demand well attended overseas.
