// 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 Figuration Libre?
Figuration Libre is an art movement that is equivalent to the French Bad Painting and Neo-Expressionism in Europe and America. The term was coined by Ben Vautier and the Fluxus movement. In 1981, Robert Combas, François Boisrond, Hervé Di Rosa, and Rémi Blanchard formed the Figuration Libre group. The term can be interpreted as free style art, emphasizing spontaneity, freedom, and a rejection of traditional artistic conventions.
