Maurice Wyckaert – Untitled (unique) – Mixed Media

View in a Room

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.

Maurice Wyckaert (Belgium, 1923–1996) was an influential painter associated with the CoBrA movement and lyrical abstraction. Known for his colorful, expressive landscapes, Wyckaert’s work often blends elements of abstraction with vibrant natural forms, reflecting his deep connection to nature. His art captures an emotional intensity that has left a lasting impact on Belgian modernism.

Drawing can create the basic outlines for watercolor painting. Drawing over dried watercolor or using watercolor pencils are combined media techniques.

Medium

Mixed Media

Mixed MediaMixed media refers to artwork that incorporates more than one medium within a single piece. Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

A painting breathes when it balances energy and silence.
- Maurice Wyckaert

A neo-expressionistic, lyrical abstract painter and printmaker, Maurice Wyckaert broke into the art world with his unique take on expressionist still-life, the subject of many of these paintings being vegetables in his early career. Wyckaert’s career began to evolve from still-life into lyrical abstraction – for which he notably took influence from Eastern calligraphy - he then evolved into abstract landscapes comprised of vivid, attractive colours – Levensboom (Tree of Life) is one of the more notable works of this kind. Wyckaert was heavily involved in several different art movements throughout his career; he was a co-founder of the Taptoe Brussels magazine, and involved in the Situationalist International group and the International Group for an Imaginative Bauhaus – he is also recognised for his influence and close relations with several members of CoBrA. Wyckaert was not only inspirational, but also inspired, most notably by James Ensor and William Turner and their practice in Luminism.

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.
