// Red Cat Singing Hands by Karel Appel, a limited edition silkscreen print, is a vibrant and striking example of the artist’s abstract style. Set against a bold red background, the composition features a surreal figure with exaggerated features, blending animalistic and human elements. The central form, outlined in thick black lines, resembles a cat-like face paired with oversized hands and a surrealistic body. The use of contrasting colors—bright whites, blues, oranges, and greens—adds dynamism and depth, while the expressive shapes evoke themes of whimsy and spontaneity. Appel’s work in this piece exudes a playful yet intense energy, underscoring his fascination with primal and fantastical imagery.

What is Art Brut?
Art Brut, a French term meaning Raw Art, was coined by Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the conventional fine arts tradition. Dubuffet used the term to refer to works made by self-taught artists, including the mentally ill, prisoners, and others on the margins of society. He also called it Outsider Art. This art is characterized by its raw, unrefined nature, often created without concern for traditional presentation or imitation.
