Painted Stone Relief -Hand signed and numbered by Appel // Karel Appel’s Floating Family (1976) is a vibrant painted stone relief that exemplifies his bold and expressive style. This circular work, hand-signed and numbered, features abstract, overlapping faces and forms that seem to emerge organically from the black background. Rendered in bright reds, blues, yellows, and greens, the figures appear interconnected, evoking a sense of unity within the chaos. The rough textures and layered shapes bring depth to the composition, creating a tactile quality that enhances its sculptural presence. Floating Family captures Appel's fascination with primal expression and the interconnectedness of human forms, transforming stone into an energetic and emotive celebration of family and togetherness.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
