Lyrical Abstraction at Group 2 Gallery
Group 2 Gallery presents a curated selection of European Lyrical Abstraction, highlighting the expressive force and emotional resonance of post-war abstract art. From the spontaneous gestures of Louis Van Lint, Maurice Wyckaert and Englebert Van Anderlecht to the textured compositions of Berthe Dubail, each work embodies the lyrical spirit that broke with geometric rigidity in favor of intuition and personal freedom. These influential figures, many of whom exhibited in major museums such as the Ixelles Museum and the Tokyo Biennial, represent the profound vitality of mid-20th-century abstraction in Belgium and beyond.
European Lyrical Abstraction
Rooted in post-war Europe’s artistic reawakening, Lyrical Abstraction emerged as a counterpoint to the austerity of geometric abstraction and the conceptual rigor of minimalism. Artists such as Georges Mathieu—whose 1949 ink drawing is a hallmark of the movement—sought immediacy and energy, transforming the canvas into a site of action. His pioneering performances and rapid brushwork gave rise to a visual language deeply embedded in personal expression and rhythm.
In Belgium, figures like Mig Quinet, a founding member of Jeune Peinture Belge, expanded this visual lexicon with emotive color fields and gestural abstraction. Her monumental canvases like "Chute Libre" and "Matinale" reflect the dynamism of lyrical abstraction while remaining rooted in a uniquely Belgian sensibility. Similarly, Louis Van Lint, who exhibited at the 1965 Tokyo Biennial, blended formal elegance with fluid motion, creating compositions that evoke both structural balance and expressive depth.
Also featured are the richly textured works of Berthe Dubail and the cosmic canvases of Zéphir Busine, whose large-scale oil paintings articulate a metaphysical approach to abstraction. These artists—and many others shown here—played crucial roles in establishing Belgium as a fertile ground for lyrical and informal abstraction, their work bridging emotional intuition and painterly sophistication.
