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. Read More

What is lyrical abstraction ?

Lyrical abstraction is a descriptive term characterizing a type of abstract painting closely related to Abstract Expressionism, in use from the 1940s to the present. The term can also describe two distinct but related trends in post-World War II modernist painting. This art movement originated in Paris, France, after the war, emphasizing personal expression, spontaneity, and the emotional use of color and form.
