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 the CoBrA movement?
CoBrA stands for Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam; the group was formed with a desire to break away from the existing art movements of the time. Their critique of Western society led them to experiment and evolve into a significant international movement. CoBrA was founded on November 8, 1948, at the Notre Dame Café in Paris, where its manifesto was signed by Karel Appel, Joseph Noiret, Corneille, Christian Dotremont, Constant, and Asger Jorn. The group was united by a shared commitment to freedom in both form and color, and their work emphasized experimentation and spontaneity.
