Original Painted Wood -Hand Signed and Dated by Appel // Karel Appel's Flower with Blue Eyes (1977) is a playful and vibrant painted wood sculpture that showcases his signature abstract expressionist style. This piece, hand-signed and dated by Appel, features exaggerated shapes and bold, lively colors, including rich blues, greens, reds, and yellows. The composition, which appears to be a fusion of floral and anthropomorphic forms, includes a prominent flower-like shape with large blue eyes, giving it a whimsical and surreal quality. Appel's use of thick, irregularly cut wood pieces layered together creates depth and texture, enhancing the sculpture’s energetic and spontaneous feel. This work exemplifies Appel's fascination with color and form, transforming simple shapes into an exuberant, dynamic composition.

What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
