Acrylic, pastel and colour pencil on paper. // This untitled work by Maurice Wyckaert is a compelling example of his abstract expressionist style, utilizing a dynamic mix of acrylic, pastel, and colored pencil on paper. The composition is dominated by dark, bold strokes that contrast with lighter areas and hints of blue, creating a sense of depth and movement reminiscent of a stormy landscape or turbulent seascape. Wyckaert’s loose, gestural approach gives the piece an energetic, almost chaotic quality, reflecting his fascination with nature’s power and mood. The layered textures and intersecting lines invite the viewer into an emotional, atmospheric experience, characteristic of Wyckaert's abstract works.

What is Situationism?
Situationism is a psychological theory that gained prominence in 1968, following the publication of a monograph by Walter Mischel that sparked the Person-situation debate. This theory argues that behavior is primarily influenced by external situational factors rather than internal traits or motivations, challenging the ideas of trait theorists like Raymond B. Cattell and Hans Eysenck, who emphasized stable personality traits. It is important not to confuse this with the Situationist International movement, an artistic and political movement founded by Asger Jorn, which focused on the critique of modern consumer society and the influence of environments on human behavior.
